Press the control twice within three seconds to power open the power
liftgate. The interior lamps will illuminate.

power liftgate and turn off the
interior lights.
If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is power opening or
closing, the power liftgate will automatically reverse or stop depending
on the position of the liftgate, provided it meets sufficient resistance. If
the power liftgate encounters an obstacle while closing, the power
liftgate will reverse to full open. Once the obstacle is removed, the power
liftgate can be again closed under power. If the power liftgate encounters
an obstacle while opening, the power liftgate will stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle. Close the liftgate manually and remove the
obstruction. Normal operation can then be resumed.
Make sure the power 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.
