Liftgate

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: Allow the power system to open the liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the system’s obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation or reverse its direction. Manually interfering with the liftgate motion may also replicate a strut failure. Closing the Liftgate WARNING Keep clear of the liftgate when using the rear switch.

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 chime, 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. Note: The system recalls the new programmed height, 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.
