.Presslon the bottom of
the liftgate next to the pull
cup to close.
Press any liftgate button, the
touch pad, or
bon the
remote key while the liftgate is
moving to stop it. Pressing any
liftgate button or pressing
b
twice quickly on the remote
key again restarts the
operation in the reverse
direction. Pressing the touch
pad on the liftgate handle will
restart the motion, but only in
the opening direction.
Caution
Manually forcing the liftgate
to open or close during a
power cycle can damage the
vehicle. Allow the power
cycle to complete.
The power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled under
extreme low temperatures,
or after repeated power
cycling over a short period of
time. If this occurs, the liftgate
can still be operated manually.
If the vehicle is shifted out of
P (Park) while the power
function is in progress, the
liftgate will continue to
completion. If the vehicle is
accelerated before the liftgate
has completed moving, the
liftgate may stop or reverse
direction. Check for Driver
Information Center (DIC)
messages and make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched
before driving. Falling Liftgate Detection
If the power liftgate
automatically closes after a
power opening cycle, it
indicates that the system is
reacting to excess weight on
the liftgate or a possible
support strut failure.
A repetitive chime will sound
while the falling liftgate
detection feature is operating.
Remove any excess weight.
If the liftgate continues to
automatically close after
opening, see your dealer for
service before using the
power liftgate.
Interfering with the power
liftgate motion or manually
closing the liftgate too quickly
after power opening may
resemble a support strut
failure. This could also activate
the falling liftgate detection
feature. Allow the liftgate to
complete its operation and
wait a few seconds before
manually closing the liftgate.
