Liftgate switch located on the left rear trim, near the

When the LIFTGATE button on the Fob with Integrated
Key (FOBIK) is pressed two times and the “Lamp Flash”
feature is enabled, the turn signals will flash twice to
signal that the liftgate is opening or closing.
NOTE:
• In the event of a power malfunction to the liftgate, an
emergency liftgate latch release can be used to open
the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be
accessed through a snap-in cover located on the lift-
gate trim panel.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or cargo
damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel path is
clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched
before driving away.
A beeping signal will sound two seconds before the
liftgate starts to open or close. Rear Liftgate Switch
