Obstacle detection
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.

open when it encounters a solid obstacle. Once the obstacle is removed,
the liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system is designed to stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle. If the liftgate stops below the half open
position, you will need to close and fully latch the liftgate manually.
