Chevrolet Tahoe 2022 Owner's Manual page 20

Interfering with the power liftgate motion
or manually closing the liftgate too quickly
after power opening may resemble a
support strut failure. This could also activate
the falling liftgate detection feature. Allow
the liftgate to complete its operation and
wait a few seconds before manually closing
the liftgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during
a power open or close cycle, the liftgate will
automatically reverse direction and move a
short distance away from the obstacle. After
removing the obstruction, the power liftgate
operation can be used again. If the liftgate
encounters multiple obstacles on the same
power cycle, the power function will
deactivate. After removing the obstructions,
manually close the liftgate. This will allow
normal power operation functions to
resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the liftgate is
closing, and an obstacle is encountered that
prevents the liftgate from completely
closing, the horn will sound as an alert that
the liftgate did not close.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the liftgate stops at
when opening:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power
open the liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at the
desired height by pressing any liftgate
button. Manually adjust the liftgate
position if needed.
3. Press and hold on the bottom edge
of the liftgate next to the latch on the
outside of the liftgate until the turn
signals flash and a beep sounds. This
indicates the setting has been recorded.
The liftgate cannot be set below a minimum
programmable height. If there is no light
flash or sound, then the height adjustment
may be too low.
Manual Operation
Select OFF to manually operate the liftgate.
See Manual Liftgate at the beginning of
this section.

Caution
Attempting to move the liftgate too
quickly and with excessive force may
result in damage to the vehicle.
Operate the liftgate manually with a
smooth motion and moderate speed. The
system includes a feature which limits the
manual closing speed to protect the
components.
Hands-Free Operation
If equipped with Hands-Free Vehicle Access,
the liftgate may be operated with a kicking
motion under the rear bumper at the
location of the projected logo. The remote
key must be within 1m (3ft) of the rear
bumper to use hands-free feature.
Splashing water may cause the liftgate to
open. Keep the remote key away from the
rear bumper detection area or turn the
liftgate mode to OFF when cleaning or
working near the rear bumper to avoid
accidental opening.
The hands-free feature will not work while
the liftgate is moving. To stop the liftgate
while in motion use one of the liftgate
switches.
