Do not open the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area with a low
ceiling. If the liftgate is raised the liftgate could be damaged against a
low ceiling.
To open the liftgate from the Overhead console:
Refer to Overhead controls in this section.
To open the liftgate with the Key fob:
Refer to Remote Entry System in the Locks and security chapter.
To open the liftgate with outside
release handle (manual
actuation):
1. To open, unlock the liftgate with
the key fob or power door unlock
control.
2. Pull and release the liftgate
handle to engage the power assist
feature.
Note: Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the obstacle
detection feature and stop the power system. For the best performance
allow the power system to open the liftgate after releasing the handle.
3. To close, pull down the liftgate a few inches to activate power closing.
Closing the gate rapidly or more than a few inches may activate the
obstacle detection feature and stop the power system.
Note: You will need to wait 2 seconds after opening the liftgate to begin
manually closing the power liftgate.
Obstacle detection
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. 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.
Normal operation can then be resumed.
