Power Liftgate
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the liftgate area
before using power liftgate control.
WARNING:Make sure to close and latch the liftgate to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into your vehicle. This will also prevent
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the
liftgate open, keep the vents or windows open so outside air comes into
your vehicle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
Note:Be careful when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Press twice within three seconds to open or close the liftgate,
or to reverse the movement.
Smart Unlocks
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your
vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors or the liftgate and lock your
vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock then
unlock if your key is still in the ignition.
Your vehicle can still be locked with the key in the ignition by:
•locking the driver door with a key
•using the lock control on the remote control
•using the keyless entry keypad.
If both front doors and the liftgate are closed, your vehicle can be locked
from any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

Power Liftgate
WARNING:Make sure to close and latch the liftgate to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into your vehicle. This will also prevent
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the
liftgate open, keep the vents or windows open so outside air comes
into your vehicle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
WARNING:Keep keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to operate the power liftgate, or to play near to an open
or moving power liftgate.
Note:Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could
result in damage to the liftgate or its power components. Make sure the
liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle.
If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close cycle and the
liftgate is 6-10 inches (15-24 centimeters) from being latched, the liftgate
may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the liftgate is closed
before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like
a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could be
damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open.
When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C),
the liftgate may stop about 5 inches (13 centimeters) from the full open
position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the
maximum open position.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note:The liftgate can be reversed with a second press on a control
button or transmitter and can be manually closed at any time.
The liftgate will only operate with your vehicle inP. The chime will beep
once if conditions are not correct to start an operation. These conditions
include:
•The ignition is in on and the transmission is not inP.
•The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
•The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).

If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after a open request, a fast
continuous chime indicates excessive load on the liftgate or a possible
strut failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster
chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.

power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection
feature.

button. Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the
obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation.

start a power close event immediately after a power open. If this
happens, a unique continuous chime will sound.

Obstacle Detection
Note:Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause it to
bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the power
liftgate fully close before entering the vehicle.
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system is designed to reverse to full
open when it encounters a solid obstacle. A three second chime is also
sounded when an obstacle is detected. 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. A chime will sound for three seconds while
the obstacle is present.
Resetting the Power Liftgate
If any of these conditions occur, the power liftgate may not operate and
must be reset:
•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 remote entry transmitter or
instrument panel button.
Note:If the power liftgate system is turned off in the message center,
the system cannot be activated with the outside release handle or rear
cargo area control button. The system will need to be turned on to
resume operation with the outside release handle or rear cargo area
control button. The power liftgate is still operational through the use of
the remote entry transmitter and instrument panel button when the
power liftgate is turned off in the message center.
Liftgate Ajar Signal
If the liftgate or liftgate glass are not fully latched, you will receive a
message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check both
the liftgate glass and liftgate door to ensure they are fully latched.
