WARNING: Keep keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow
children to operate the power liftgate, or to play near to an open

or moving power liftgate.

Note: Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could
result in damage to the liftgate or its power components. Make sure the
liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle.

If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close cycle and the
liftgate is 6-10 inches (15-24 centimeters) from being latched, the liftgate
may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the liftgate is closed
before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a
garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could be
damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open.

When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), the
liftgate may stop about 5 inches (13 centimeters) from the full open
position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the
maximum open position.

Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate

Note: The liftgate can be reversed with a second press on a control
button or transmitter and can be manually closed at any time.

The liftgate will only operate with your vehicle in P. The chime will beep
once if conditions are not correct to start an operation. These conditions
include:
• The ignition is in on and the transmission is not in P.
• The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
• The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after a open request, a fast
continuous chime indicates excessive load on the liftgate or a possible
strut failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster
chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.

Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the
power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection
feature.

To open or close from the instrument panel:

Press the instrument panel button.
