Manual Operation Of Power Liftgate - Chevrolet Traverse Owner's Manual

If more obstacles are encountered
on the same power cycle, the power
function deactivates. The liftgate
must be opened or closed manually
if this occurs. A message displays
on the Driver Information
Center (DIC) to indicate that the
liftgate is open. See Door Ajar
Messages on page 5-33. After
removing the obstacles, manually
open the liftgate fully or close and
latch the liftgate. The liftgate will
resume normal power operation.
The vehicle also has pinch sensors
along the side edges of the liftgate.
If the sensors press against an
object while closing, the liftgate will
reverse direction and open fully. The
liftgate will remain open until it is
activated again or closed manually.
Do not force the liftgate open or
closed during a power cycle.
