2. Press the control button located in the top of the liftgate pull-cup
handle.
Note: Allow the power system to open the liftgate after pressing the
control. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the
system's obstacle detection feature and stops the power operation.
To close with the rear cargo area control: Press and release
the button.
WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.
Obstacle Detection
When closing: The system will reverse to full open when it detects an
obstacle. A chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen.
Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate.
Note: Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause the
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow
the power liftgate to fully close before entering the vehicle. Before driving
off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message and/or
warning indicator. Driving off without first checking for the liftgate or door
ajar message and/or warning indicator could result in the liftgate being left
open, unintentionally, while you are driving.
When opening: The system will stop and a chime will sound three times
when it detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.
Resetting the Power Liftgate
The liftgate may not operate properly and may need to be reset if any of
these conditions occur:
• a low voltage or dead battery
• disconnected battery
• the liftgate is manually closed and left ajar (unlatched)
To reset the power liftgate:
1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery.
2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.
3. Power open the liftgate by using the transmitter, or the instrument
panel control button.
