Power Liftgate *
The power liftgate opens/closes
electrically by operating the switches in

entry system transmitter.
WARNING
Be sure to watch the power liftgate as it
opens or closes, and make sure that it
closes completely: Opening or closing the power
liftgate while not watching it move
is dangerous. Because of unseen
obstacles and the jam-safe feature, a
liftgate may not close completely and,
if left unnoticed, could result in serious
injury or death if an occupant were to
fall out of the vehicle.
Always be sure that the area around
the liftgate is clear before activating it.

Always confi rm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before
operating it electrically. Not checking the area around the
liftgate for people before operating
it using the power liftgate switch
or the button on the keyless entry
system is dangerous. A person could
become caught between the liftgate
and an obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate and
vehicle while it is closing electrically,
resulting in an accident and serious
injury.

Never allow children to operate the
power liftgate system: Allowing children to operate the power
liftgate switch and the keyless entry
system is dangerous. Children are not
aware of the dangers of people getting
fi ngers and hands caught in a moving
liftgate. If someone's neck, head or
hands get caught in a closing door, it
could result in death or serious injury.
