cThe lift gate can be opened by the instru-
ment panel switch and the keyfob even if the
vehicle is locked. The lift gate will individually
unlock and open. Once the lift gate is
closed, its lock will align to the vehicle’s lock
or unlock status.
cThe keyfob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
ond before the lift gate opens.
cThe lift gate must be unlocked to open it with
the outside opener handle.
cThe switch on the rear pillar cannot be used
to open the lift gate.
A warning chime will sound if the shift selector
lever is moved out of P (Park) during a power
open operation.
Power Close:
The power lift gate automatically moves from the
fully open position to the secondary position.
When the lift gate reaches the secondary posi-
tion, the cinching motor engages and pulls the lift
gate to its primary latch position. Power close
takes approximately7–10seconds. The power
close feature can be activated by the switch on
the keyfob, the instrument panel and the rear
pillar. The hazard lights flash and a chime sounds
to indicate the power close sequence has been
started.cIf the outside opener handle is activated
while the cinching motor is engaged, the
cinching motor will disengage and release
the latch.
cThe keyfob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
ond before the lift gate closes.
cThe switch on the rear pillar can only be used
to close the lift gate if the cancel switch is
not in the on position.
Reverse:
The power lift gate will reverse direction immedi-
ately during power open or power close if the
keyfob, instrument panel or rear pillar switch is
pressed or if the outside handle is lifted. A chime
will sound to announce the reversal.
Auto Reverse:
If an obstacle is detected during power open or
power close, a warning chime will sound and the
lift gate will reverse direction and return to the full
open or full close position. If a second obstacle is
detected, the lift gate motion will stop and the
drive motor will disengage. The lift gate will enter
manual mode.
A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the lift
gate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip
during power close, the lift gate will reverse di-
rection and return to the full open position.NOTE:
If the pinch strip is damaged or removed,
the power close function will not operate.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., inside
the vehicle before closing the lift gate.
Manual Mode:
If power operation is not available, the lift gate
may be operated manually. Power operation may
not be available if the cancel switch is in the on
position, if multiple obstacles have been de-
tected in a single power cycle, or if battery volt-
age is low.
