Cadillac 2012 SRX - Manual (Page 48)

Black plate (16,1) Cadillac SRX Owner Manual (Include Mex) - 2012
2-16 Keys, Doors, and Windows
OFF: The liftgate only operates
manually in this position.
Manual operation of a liftgate that
also has power operation requires
more effort than with a standard
manual liftgate.
In either the MAX or the 3/4 mode,
the liftgate can be power opened
and closed by:
. Pressing
8
on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
until the liftgate starts moving.
See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑3.
. Pressing
8
on the center of
the mode switch on the driver
door, with the driver door
unlocked.
. Pressing the touch pad switch
on the liftgate outside handle,
with all doors unlocked, to open
the liftgate.
Press and release 8 on the
liftgate next to the latch to close
the liftgate.
Pressing any liftgate button,
or the touch pad switch while the
liftgate is moving, stops it. Pressing
the button or RKE switch again
reverses the direction. There is a
minimum distance 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 you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) while the power function
is in progress, the liftgate power
function will continue to completion.
If you shift the transmission 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. Always make sure the
power liftgate is closed and latched
before you drive away.
If you power open the liftgate and
the liftgate support struts have lost
pressure, the turn signals flash and
a chime sounds. The liftgate stays
open temporarily, then slowly
closes. See your dealer for service
before using the liftgate.
