POWER LIFTGATE

WARNINGS

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a

cargo area, inside or outside of a

vehicle. In a crash, people riding in

these areas are more likely to be seriously

injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride

in any area of your vehicle that is not

equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make

sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat

and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to

follow this warning could result in serious

personal injury or death.

Make sure to close and latch the

liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust

fumes into your vehicle. This will also

prevent passengers and cargo from falling

out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,

keep the vents or windows open so outside

air comes into your vehicle. Failure to

follow this warning could result in serious

personal injury.

Keep keys out of reach of children.

Do not allow children to operate or

play near an open or moving power

liftgate. You should supervise the

operation of the power liftgate at all times.

Note: Make sure that you close the liftgate

before operating or moving your vehicle,

especially in an enclosure, like a garage or

a parking structure. This could damage the

liftgate and its components.

Note: Do not hang anything, for example

a bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This

could damage the liftgate and its

components.

For automatic transmissions, the liftgate

only operates with the transmission in park

(P).

For manual transmissions, the liftgate only

operates if the vehicle speed is less than

3 mph (5 km/h)

If there is a problem with the open or close

request, a tone will sound for one of the

following reasons:

• The ignition is on and the transmission

is not in park (P).

• The battery voltage is below the

minimum operating voltage.

• The liftgate is not fully closed and your

vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph

(5 km/h).

If the liftgate starts to close after it has

fully opened, this indicates there may be

excessive weight on the liftgate or a

possible strut failure. A repetitive tone

sounds and the liftgate closes under

control. Remove any excessive weight

from the liftgate. If the liftgate continues

to close after opening, have the system

checked by an authorized dealer.

Opening and Closing the Liftgate

WARNING

Make sure all persons are clear of the

power liftgate area before using the

power liftgate control.

Note: Make sure the area behind your

vehicle is free from obstruction and that

there is enough room for you to operate the

liftgate. Objects too close to your vehicle,

for example a wall, garage door or another

vehicle may come into contact with the

moving liftgate. This could damage the

liftgate and its components.

Note: Be careful when opening or closing

the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed

area to avoid damaging the liftgate.

Note: Do not leave the liftgate open when

you are driving. This could damage the

liftgate and its components.

2. Press the control button located in the

top of the liftgate pull-cup handle.

Note: Allow the system to open the

liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the

liftgate may turn on obstacle detection and

stop the power operation or reverse its

direction. Manually interfering with the

liftgate motion may also replicate a strut

failure.

Stopping the Liftgate Movement

Note: Do not apply sudden excessive force

to the liftgate while it is in motion. This

could damage the power liftgate and its

components.

You can stop the liftgate movement by

doing any of the following:

• Pressing the liftgate control button.

• Pressing the liftgate button on the

remote control twice.

• Pressing the liftgate button on the

instrument panel.

• Moving your foot under and away from

the center rear bumper in a single-kick

motion.

This method only works for vehicles with

the hands-free liftgate feature.

Setting the Liftgate Open Height

1. Open the liftgate.

2. Stop the liftgate movement by pressing

the control button on the liftgate when

it reaches the desired height.

Note: Once the liftgate has stopped

moving, you can also manually move it to

the desired height.

3. Press and hold the liftgate control

button on the liftgate until you hear a

tone, indicating programming is

complete.

Note: You can only use the liftgate control

button to program the height.

Note: You cannot program the height if the

liftgate position is too low.

The new open liftgate height is recalled

when the power liftgate is opened. To

change the programmed height, repeat the

above procedure. Once you open the

power liftgate, you can manually move it

to a different height.

Liftgate

Note: The system recalls the new

programmed height until you reprogram it,

even if you disconnect the battery.

When operating the power liftgate after

you have programmed a lower height than

fully open, you can fully open the liftgate

by manually pushing it upward to the

maximum open position

Obstacle Detection

When Closing

The system stops when it detects an

obstacle. A tone sounds and the system

reverses to open. Once you remove the

obstacle, you can power close the liftgate.

Note: Entering your vehicle while the

liftgate is closing can cause your vehicle to

bounce and activate obstacle detection. To

prevent this, let the power liftgate close

completely before you enter your vehicle.

Before driving off, check the instrument

cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or

warning indicator. Failure to do this could

result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate

open while driving.

When Opening

The system stops when it detects an

obstacle and a tone sounds. Once you

remove the obstacle, you can continue to

operate the liftgate.

Hands-Free Feature (If Equipped)

Make sure you have an intelligent access

transmitter within 3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.

E239081

1. Move your foot under and away from

the rear bumper detection area in a

single-kick motion. Do not move your

foot sideways or the sensors may not

detect the motion. Kick between the

exhaust and hitch if your vehicle is

equipped with a hitch.

2. The liftgate will power open or close.

Note: Allow the system to open the

liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the

liftgate may turn on obstacle detection and

stop the power operation or reverse its

direction. Manually interfering with the

liftgate motion may also replicate a strut

failure.

Note: Splashing water may cause the

hands-free liftgate to open. Keep the

intelligent access key away from the rear

bumper detection area when washing your

vehicle.
