Liftgate

Closing the Liftgate

WARNINGS 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. The liftgate only operates with the transmission in park (P). Three warning tones sound as the liftgate begins to power close. If there is a problem with the open or close request, one of the following may occur: • One tone sounds if the ignition is on and the transmission is not in park (P). • Three tones sound if the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage. • One tone sounds if the 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 as soon as possible.
