With the power liftgate disabled and

To open the liftgate, press the touch
pad on the handle (B) and lift up.
Use the pull cup to lower and close

If on the RKE transmitter or
on the liftgate is pressed while
power operation is disabled, the
lamps will flash three times, but the
liftgate will not move.
It is not recommended to drive with
the liftgate open, however, when
driving with the liftgate open; the
liftgate should be set to manual
operation by pressing OFF on the
liftgate switch on the center console.
The liftgate has an electric latch.
If the battery is disconnected or has
low voltage, the liftgate will not
open. The liftgate will resume
operation when the battery is
reconnected and charged.
If the battery is properly connected
with adequate voltage, the switch is
not disabled, and the liftgate still will
not function, see a dealer for
service.
