minimum that the power liftgate
must already be open for the
system to hold it open. If movement
is stopped below that minimum, the
liftgate closes.
Do not force the liftgate open or
closed during a power cycle.
The power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled under extreme
temperatures or low battery
conditions. If this occurs, the liftgate
can still be operated manually.
If the transmission is shifted out of
P (Park) while the power function
is in progress, the liftgate power
function will continue to completion.
If the transmission is shifted out of
P (Park) and accelerate before the
power liftgate latch is closed, the
liftgate may reverse to the open
position. Cargo could fall out of the
vehicle. Close and latch the power
liftgate before driving.
If the liftgate is powered open and
the liftgate support struts have lost
pressure, the turn signals will flash
and a chime will sound. The liftgate
will stay open, and then slowly
close. See your dealer for service
before using the liftgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle
during a power open or close
cycle, a warning chime will sound
and the liftgate will automatically
reverse direction to the full closed
or open position. After removing
the obstacle, the power liftgate
operation can be used again.
If the liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
After removing the obstacles, the
liftgate will resume normal power
operation.
