overheating. In thermal protection
mode, the power liftgate will not
operate. If any of the power liftgate
buttons are pressed to try to open the
liftgate, the chime will sound 3 times
but the liftgate will not operate.

consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not
operate it excessively e.g.: more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
liftgate in the open position for a long
lime.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power liftgate. This
could cause the power liftgate to
