LIFTGATE

Power Liftgate — If Equipped
The power liftgate may be opened
by pushing the electronic liftgate
release (refer to "Keyless Enter-
N-Go — Passive Entry" located in
"Getting To Know Your Vehicle") or
by pushing the liftgate button on the
key fob. Push the liftgate button on the key fob
twice within five seconds to open the power
liftgate. Once the liftgate is open, pushing the
button twice within five seconds a second time
will close the liftgate.
The power liftgate may also be opened or
closed by pushing the liftgate button located on
the front overhead console. If the liftgate is fully
open, the liftgate can be closed by pushing the
liftgate button located on left rear trim panel,
near the liftgate opening. If the liftgate is in
motion, pushing the liftgate button located on
left rear trim panel will reverse the liftgate.
When the liftgate button on the key fob is
pushed two times, the turn signals will flash to
signal that the liftgate is opening or closing (if
"Flash Lamps with Lock" is enabled in the
Uconnect settings), and the liftgate chime will be
audible. For further information, refer to
"Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia."

NOTE:
• In the event of a power malfunction to the
liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch release
can be used to open the liftgate. The emer-
gency liftgate latch release can be accessed
through a snap-in cover located on the liftgate
trim panel.
• If liftgate is left open for an extended period of
time, the liftgate may need to be closed
manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
• The power liftgate buttons will not operate if
the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 MPH (0 km/h).
• The power liftgate will not operate in tempera-
tures below −22° F (−30° C) or temperatures
above 150° F (65° C). Be sure to remove any
buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate before
pushing any of the power liftgate switches.
• If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it
is closing or opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or open posi-
tion, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
• There are also pinch sensors attached to the
side of the liftgate. Light pressure anywhere
along these strips will cause the liftgate to
return to the open position.
• If the liftgate is not fully open, push the liftgate
button on the key fob twice to operate the
liftgate.
• If the electronic liftgate release is pushed
while the power liftgate is closing, the liftgate
will reverse to the full open position.
• If the electronic liftgate release is pushed
while the power liftgate is opening, the liftgate
motor will disengage to allow manual
operation.
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple ob-
structions within the same cycle, the system
will automatically stop and the liftgate must
be opened or closed manually.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured
by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed
when you are operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
