Vehicle Security; Vehicle Alarm System - Cadillac 2015 SRX Owner's Manual

With the power tailgate disabled and
all of the doors unlocked, the
tailgate can be manually opened
and closed. The effort required to
operate a power tailgate is greater
than the effort required to operate a
non-power tailgate.
To open the tailgate, press the touch
pad on the handle on the outside of
the tailgate, and lift the gate open.
To close the tailgate, use the pull
cup to lower the tailgate and close.
With the power tailgate disabled, the
tailgate electric latch will still power
latch once contact is made with the
striker. Always close the tailgate
before driving.
If the RKE button is pressed while
power operation is disabled, the
indicators flash and the tailgate will
not move.
The tailgate has an electric latch.
If the battery is disconnected or has
low voltage, the tailgate will not
open. The tailgate will resume
operation when the battery is
reconnected and charged.
