PLG encounters an obstacle while opening, the PLG will stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle. Close the liftgate manually and remove the

The power liftgate may not operate properly if any of the following
conditions occur:
•a low voltage or dead battery
•disconnected battery
•the liftgate has been left open or unlatched for more than six (6)
hours
If any of these conditions occur, the PLG must be reset. To reset the
PLG:
1. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.
2. Power open the liftgate by using the remote entry transmitter or
overhead console button.
3. Once the liftgate is fully open, close the liftgate using the power
switch on the liftgate, remote entry transmitter or overhead console

Liftgate ajar signal
If the liftgate is not fully latched, you will receive a “LIFTGATE AJAR”
message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check the
liftgate to ensure it is fully latched.
Make sure the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from
being drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with the liftgate
open, keep the climate control vents open so that fresh outside air
circulates through the vehicle.
