WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.

Setting Liftgate Open Height

1. Open the liftgate.

2. Manually move the liftgate to the desired height.

3. Press and hold the control button on the liftgate until a chime is
heard, indicating the new height has been programmed. Note: The
height cannot be programmed if the liftgate position is too low.

The new open liftgate height will now be recalled when the power
liftgate is opened. To change the programmed height, repeat the above
procedure. Once the power liftgate is opened it can be manually moved
to a different height.

When operating the power liftgate after a lower height than full-open has
been programmed, the liftgate can be fully opened by manually pushing
it upward to the maximum open position.

Obstacle Detection

When closing: The system 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 can be closed under power.

Note: Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause the
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow
the power liftgate to fully close before entering the vehicle. Before
driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar
message and/or warning indicator. Driving off without first checking for
the liftgate or door ajar message and/or warning indicator could result in
the liftgate being left open, unintentionally, while you are driving.

When opening: The system will stop and a chime will sound three times
when it detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.
