If movement is stopped below that
minimum, the tailgate closes.
Do not force the tailgate open or
closed during a power cycle.
The power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled under extreme
temperatures or low battery
conditions. If this occurs, the tailgate
can still be operated manually.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) while the power function is
in progress, the tailgate power
function will continue to completion.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) and accelerate before the
power tailgate latch is closed, the
tailgate may reverse to the open
position. Cargo could fall out of the
vehicle. Always make sure the
power tailgate is closed and latched
before you drive away.
If you power open the tailgate and
the tailgate support struts have lost
pressure, the indicators flash and a
chime sounds. The tailgate stays
open temporarily, then slowly
closes. See your dealer for service
before using the tailgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the tailgate encounters an
obstacle during a power open or
close cycle, a warning chime will
sound and the tailgate will
automatically reverse direction to
the full closed or open position.
After removing the obstruction, the
power tailgate operation can be
used again. If the tailgate
encounters multiple obstacles on
the same power cycle, the power
function will deactivate. After
removing the obstructions, the
tailgate will resume normal power
operation.
The vehicle has pinch sensors on
the side edges of the tailgate. If an
object is caught between the liftgate
and the body and presses against
one of these sensors, the liftgate will
reverse direction and open fully. The
tailgate will remain open until it is
activated again or closed manually.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the tailgate stop position:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and
open the liftgate.
2. Stop the tailgate movement at
the desired height by pressing
any tailgate switch. Manually
adjust the liftgate position if
needed.

3. Press and hold
liftgate next to the latch until the

then the height adjustment may be
too low.
