progress, the liftgate power function
will continue to completion. If the
transmission is shifted out of P
(Park) and the vehicle accelerates
before the power liftgate latches
closed, the liftgate may reverse to
the open position. Cargo could fall
out of the vehicle. Always make
sure the power liftgate is closed and
latched before driving away.
If the liftgate is opened using power
operation and the liftgate support
struts have lost pressure, the turn
signals flash and a chime will
sound. The liftgate stays open
temporarily, and then slowly closes.
See a dealer for service before
using the liftgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle
during a power open or close cycle,
a warning chime will sound and the
liftgate will automatically reverse
direction to the full closed or open
position. After removing the
obstruction, the power liftgate
operation can be used again. If the
liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate
and a message will display in the
Driver Information Center (DIC).
See
Object Detection System
Messages on page 5-31. After
removing the obstructions, the
liftgate will resume normal power
operation.
Pinch sensors are located on the
side edges of the liftgate. If an
object is caught between the liftgate
and the vehicle and presses against
this sensor, the liftgate will reverse
direction and open fully. The liftgate
will remain open until it is activated
again or closed manually.
