Obstacle detection
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system will reverse to full open when
it detects an obstacle. A chime will sound 3 times when an obstacle is
detected as the liftgate begins to reopen. Once the obstacle is removed,
the liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system will stop and a chime will
sound 3 times when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is
removed, the liftgate can again be operated normally.
Resetting the power liftgate:
The power liftgate may not operate properly and may need to be reset if
any of these conditions occur:
•a low voltage or dead battery or disconnected battery
•the liftgate has been left open or unlatched for more than six (6)

installed, the power liftgate needs to be power opened to the full open
position to reset the power liftgate positions.
