Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. Three tones sound and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the liftgate.
Note:
Entering your vehicle while the liftgate
is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
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.
When Opening
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and three tones sound. Once you
remove the obstacle, you can continue to
operate the liftgate. Hands-Free Feature
Make sure you have an intelligent access
transmitter within 3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.
1.
Move your foot under and away from the
rear bumper detection area in a
single-kick motion. Do not move your foot
sideways or the sensors may not detect
the motion. For vehicles with both the
hands-free liftgate and trailer tow, move
your foot under the bumper between the
trailer hitch and the exhaust.
2. The liftgate will power open or close. Note:
Allow the power system to open the
liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the
liftgate may activate the system’ s obstacle
detection feature and stop the power
operation or reverse its direction. Manually
interfering with the liftgate motion may also
replicate a strut failure.
Note: Splashing water may cause the
hands-free liftgate to open. Keep the
intelligent access key away from the rear
bumper detection area when washing your
vehicle.

window. It is invisible until touched and then
