Lift-to-Close Operation
To close the tailgate using the lift-to-close
feature, lift the tailgate from the full-open
position to at least 10 cm (4 in) and hold it
momentarily. Then, the tailgate will start
closing automatically. If the tailgate is lifted
more than halfway between open and close,
then it will not close automatically.
Obstacle Detection
If the tailgate encounters an obstacle during
a power open cycle, it will stop on the
obstacle. After removing the obstruction, the
tailgate can be allowed to open. If the
tailgate encounters an obstacle during the
closing cycle, it will stop and reverse to
full open.
If the tailgate encounters multiple obstacles,
the power function will deactivate. After
removing the obstructions, manually close
the tailgate to resume normal power
operation.
Manual Operation
The tailgate can be manually closed from
the full-open position when the tailgate is
lifted in a continuous motion. If the tailgate
motion is stopped between the full-open
and half-closed positions, the lift-to-close
feature can engage and power close the
tailgate. If the touch pad is pressed during
power operation, the tailgate will stop and
allow manual operation. The tailgate must
be held after stopping, or it will continue
to open.
MultiFlex Tailgate
Warning
Make sure there is no one in the way of
the power tailgate as it is opening and
closing, and keep hands away from the
tailgate hinges when in use. You or
others could be injured if caught in the
path of the power tailgate or tailgate
hinges.
Caution
To avoid damage to the tailgate, make
sure the area behind the tailgate is clear
before opening it.
If equipped with this feature, the vehicle
must be in P (Park).
Switches in the inner tailgate prevent the
primary tailgate from being opened when
the inner tailgate is not fully closed.
