WARNING
Be sure to watch the power liftgate as
it opens or closes, and make sure that
it closes completely:
Opening or closing the power liftgate
while not watching it move is
dangerous. Because of unseen
Lever
obstacles and the jam-safe feature, a
liftgate may not close completely
and, if left unnoticed, could result in
serious injury or death if an occupant
were to fall out of the vehicle.
Always be sure that the area around
the liftgate is clear before activating
it.
Always confirm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before
operating it electrically.
Not checking the area around the
liftgate for people before operating it
using the power liftgate switch or the
button on the keyless entry system is
dangerous. A person could become
caught between the liftgate and an
obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate
and vehicle while it is closing
electrically, resulting in an accident
and serious injury.
Always be sure the power liftgate
completely closes before shifting into
gear and driving the vehicle:
Shifting out of Park (P) while the
liftgate is moving is dangerous. The
liftgate will not close completely and
this could result in serious injury or
death if an occupant were to fall out
of the vehicle. Occupants in the
vehicle will also not have full
protection in a collision.
