Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note: You can reverse the liftgate movement direction with a second
press of the instrument panel button or the button on the liftgate, or a
second double press of the transmitter button.
The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P.
Three tones will sound as the liftgate begins to power close. A single tone
indicates a problem with the close request, caused by any of the following:
• The ignition is on and the transmission is not in P
• The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage
• The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h)
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast
continuous tone indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut
failure. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer if you still have
a fast tone after removing the load.
To open or close from the instrument panel: Press the
instrument panel button.
To open or close with the remote control: Press the remote
control button twice within three seconds.
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.
