Features of your vehicle
Power liftgate (if equipped)
Power liftgate operating condi-
tions
The power liftgate operates when the
gear is in P (Park) with the engine run-
ning. However, the power liftgate will
operate regardless of the gear position
when the engine is off. Also, the liftgate
can be opened only when vehicle speed
is below 1.8 mph (3 km/h).
For safety, before attempting to open or
close the liftgate, make sure the vehicle
is in P (Park).
WARNING
僅 Never leave children or animals unat-
tended in your vehicle. Children may
operate the power liftgate. Doing so
can result in injury to themselves or
others and can damage the vehicle.
僅 Make sure that there are no people or
objects in the path of the power
liftgate or smart liftgate prior to use.
Serious injury, damage to the vehicle
or damage to surrounding objects (for
example, walls, ceilings, vehicles, etc.)
may result if contact with the liftgate
occurs.
