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.
