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)
hours
To reset the power liftgate:
1. Ensure the battery is properly connected and charged.
2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.
3. Power open the liftgate by using the integrated keyhead transmitter,
or the instrument panel control button. The outside liftgate control
button can also be used if the power liftgate is enabled in the Message
Center.
Note:If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is
installed, the power liftgate needs to be power opened to the full open
position to reset the power liftgate positions.
MANUAL LIFTGATE (IF EQUIPPED)
The liftgate cargo area is only intended for cargo, not for passengers. You
can open and close the liftgate from outside the vehicle. It cannot be
opened from inside the cargo area.
Note:In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and
released through the access panel in the liftgate trim.
To open, push the control button
located above the liftgate outside
handle to unlatch the liftgate, then
pull on the outside handle to access
the cargo area.
•Exercise care when opening or
closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area. The liftgate
could be damaged against a
garage door, low ceiling or wall.
•Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler/glass or
liftgate. Doing so could cause serious damage to the liftgate and its
components.
•Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. Doing so could cause
serious damage to the liftgate and its components as well as allowing
carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle.
