two times. The vehicle is also allowed a maximum of one

(62°C). Be sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice
from the liftgate before pushing any of the power
liftgate buttons.
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions
within the same cycle, the system will automatically

emergency liftgate latch release can be used to open
the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be
accessed through a snap-in cover located on the lift-
gate trim panel.
• If the liftgate is left open for an extended period of
time, the liftgate may need to be closed manually to
reset power liftgate functionality.WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep
the liftgate closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,
make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
Do not use the recirculation mode.
Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.2
