Dodge 2009 Durango - Manual (Page 38)

NOTE: When the engine is running from a remote start
(if equipped), the vehicle must first be unlocked by
pressing the remote transmitter UNLOCK button prior to
activating the power liftgate; otherwise, the engine will
stop automatically.
Once unlocked, the liftgate can be opened or closed. To
open the liftgate, pull the exterior handle and open the
liftgate with one fluid motion.
The liftgate will not manually open if the vehicle is in
gear or the vehicle speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
NOTE: If the liftgate is locked and is not equipped with
a powered liftgate, pressing the button on the RKE
transmitter will result in the liftgate becoming unlocked
for 30 seconds allowing you to manually access the
liftgate area. The liftgate will re-lock automatically within
10 seconds once the liftgate is closed.
Power Liftgate — If Equipped
The power liftgate may be opened manually or by using
the button on the RKE transmitter. Press the power
liftgate button on the RKE transmitter twice within five
seconds, to open the power liftgate. Once the liftgate is
fully open, pressing the power liftgate button twice
within five seconds a second time will close the liftgate.
When the RKE transmitter power liftgate button 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.
The power liftgate may also be opened by pressing the
switch located on the overhead console.
