Obstacle Detection
When closing:The system will reverse to full open when it detects an
obstacle. A chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen.
Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate.
Note:Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause the
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow
the power liftgate to fully close before entering the vehicle. Before
driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar
message and/or warning indicator. Driving off without first checking for
the liftgate or door ajar message and/or warning indicator could result in
the liftgate being left open, unintentionally, while you are driving.
When opening:The system will stop and a chime will sound three times
when it detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.
Resetting the Power Liftgate
The liftgate may not operate properly and may need to be reset if any of
these conditions occur:
•a low voltage or dead battery
•disconnected battery
•the liftgate is manually closed and left ajar (unlatched)
To reset the power liftgate:
1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery.
2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.
3. Power open the liftgate by using the transmitter, or the instrument
panel control button.
Manual Operation
WARNING:Make sure that the liftgate is closed to prevent
exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with
the liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air
comes into the vehicle.
Note:Be careful when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note:Do not hang anything (bike rack, etc.) from the spoiler, glass or
liftgate. This could damage the liftgate and its components.
Note:Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. This could damage to
the liftgate and its components.
