If you manually close the power tailgate, it latches automatically.
The power tailgate fail-safe mode detects if there is an extra load on the tailgate (for
example, it is covered with snow). If an extra load is detected, the tailgate opens
completely then lowers to the closed position.

Power Tailgate Fail-Safe Mode
Auto-Closer
The auto-closer feature does not activate if you
push the tailgate open handle while the power
tailgate is closing.
Do not put any force on the tailgate while the
power tailgate is latching.
Keep your hands away from the tailgate when
you manually close the tailgate and let it latch
automatically. It is dangerous to put your hands
around the tailgate as it starts to latch itself.
Power Tailgate Fail-Safe Mode
If you try to manually close the power tailgate
immediately after it fully opens, the power tailgate
fail-safe mode may activate.
Once the power tailgate fail-safe mode activates,
wait until the power tailgate fully closes. Keep away
from the power tailgate when it is in motion.
If the power tailgate fail-safe mode constantly
activates, consult at a dealer.
