Information
• In cold and wet climates, the outside power liftgate open button may not work properly
due to freezing conditions. If this occurs, remove the ice before using the outside
power liftgate open/close button or use the power liftgate open/close button on the
Smart key or the instrument panel.
• If you leave the smart key in the liftgate and close the liftgate, a warning sounds for a
few seconds. If this occurs, open the liftgate by pressing the power liftgate open button
on the outside of the liftgate.
• If there are obstacles such as snow on the liftgate, the liftgate may not open
automatically. After removing the obstacle, try to open it again.
• Be careful where there is an incline, as the liftgate lid may drop slightly when it is
stopped before it fully opens.
