MEMORY HEIGHT(if equipped)
You can set where the rear gate stops when it opens. This is a great feature to limit the
upward travel of the rear gate to ensure you can reach it or to prevent the rear gate from
contacting a garage ceiling. To set the height, perform the following procedure with the
ignition switch in the “LOCK/OFF” position:
1Make sure the Memory
Height Switch is the “OFF”
position (the switch is raised
and you can see a white line
on the top).
2Open the rear gate using the
Power Rear Gate Button.
Pause the rear gate when it
reaches the desired height
by pressing the Power Rear
Gate Button on the rear
gate, instrument panel, or
key fob.
