NOTE:

• The power liftgate buttons will not operate if the

vehicle is in gear or the vehicle speed is above 0 mph
(0 km/h).

• The power liftgate will not operate in temperatures

below −22°F (−30°C) or temperatures above 150°F
(65°C). Be sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice
from the liftgate before pressing any of the power
liftgate switches.

• If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is

closing or opening, the liftgate will automatically
reverse to the closed or open position, provided it
meets sufficient resistance.

• There are also pinch sensors attached to the side of the

liftgate. Light pressure anywhere along these strips
will cause the liftgate to return to the open position.

• The power liftgate must be in the full open position for

rear liftgate close button on the left rear trim, near the
liftgate opening, to operate. If the liftgate is not fully
open, press the Liftgate button on the Key Fob twice to
fully open the liftgate, and then press it twice to close.

• If the electronic liftgate release is pushed while the

power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will reverse to the
full open position.

• If the electronic liftgate release is pushed while the

power liftgate is opening, the liftgate motor will dis-
engage to allow manual operation.

• If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions

within the same cycle, the system will automatically
stop and the liftgate must be opened or closed manually.

• If your liftgate is power closing and you put the

vehicle in gear, the liftgate will continue to power
close. However, vehicle movement may result in a
detection of an obstruction.
