To power open the liftgate with
outside liftgate control button:
1. Unlock the liftgate with the
transmitter or power door unlock
control. If the intelligent access
transmitter (if equipped) is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, the
liftgate will unlock when you press
the liftgate release button.
2. To open the liftgate, press the
control button located in the top of the liftgate pull-cup handle.
Note: For the best performance 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 power close the liftgate with
the rear cargo area control
button:
Press and release the control on the
left rear quarter panel to close the
liftgate.
Note: The rear cargo area control
button is disabled when the liftgate
is latched (fully closed).
WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.
Note: The liftgate movement direction can be reversed with a second
press of the instrument panel, or the rear cargo area control button, or a
second double press of the transmitter button.
To manually operate the liftgate:
1. Disable the liftgate power function. Refer to the Message center in the
Instrument Cluster chapter.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate. Refer to
Manual liftgate in this chapter.
Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme
inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
