areas are more likely to be seriously injured
or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any
area of your vehicle that is not equipped with

warning could result in serious personal
injury. Keep keys out of reach of children. Do
not allow children to play near an open
or moving power liftgate. Note:
Cycling the ignition while the liftgate
is power closing and is near the latch may
cause the liftgate to reverse to the full open
position. Make sure that you close the
liftgate before operating or moving the
vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a
garage or a parking structure. You could
damage the liftgate or its components.
Note: Do not hang anything, for example a

Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and three short tones sound. Once
you remove the obstacle, you can power
close the liftgate.
Note:
Entering your vehicle while the liftgate

and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power liftgate close completely
before you enter your vehicle. Before driving
off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate
or door ajar message or warning indicator.
Failure to do this could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open
while driving.
