Liftgate

Stopping the Liftgate Movement 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. • Activating the obstacle detection feature. Setting the Liftgate Open Height 1. Open the liftgate. 2. Stop the liftgate by pressing the control button on the liftgate when it reaches the desired height. Note: When 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 a tone sounds, 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. Obstacle Detection Closing The system stops when it detects an obstacle. Three tones sound and the system reverses to open. When you remove the obstacle, you can power close the liftgate.

Note: Entering your vehicle when the liftgate is closing can activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow the power liftgate to fully close 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. Opening The system stops when it detects an obstacle and two short tones sound. When you remove the obstacle, you can continue to operate the liftgate.
