NOTE:
The liftgate will not power open or close if
the gear selector is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets sufficient
resistance.
There are pinch sensors attached to the
side of the liftgate opening. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause the
liftgate to return to the open position.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop. If this
occurs, the liftgate must be opened or
closed manually.

position. However, because the gas pres-
sure drops with temperature, it may be
necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
Before driving off, check the instrument
cluster for a liftgate or door open message
or warning indicator. Failure to do this
could result in unintentionally leaving the
liftgate open while driving.
