the liftgate will unlock when you
press the liftgate release button.
2. Press the control button located in the top of the liftgate pull-cup handle.
Note: Allow the power system to open the liftgate after pressing the
control. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the
system’s obstacle detection feature and stops the power operation.
To close with the rear cargo area control: Press and release
the button located in the rear cargo area.
WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear

Obstacle Detection
When closing: The liftgate will reverse to full open when it detects an
obstacle. A chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen.
Remove the obstacle to 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 a
tone will sound three times. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.
