Features of your vehicle

• In cold and wet climates, the
power liftgate (tailgate) may not
work properly due to freezing con-
ditions.
• It is recommended to wait until
the power liftgate (tailgate) is fully
closed before starting the vehicle.
The power liftgate (tailgate) may
not close fully if the vehicle is
started during automatic closing.

Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate (tailgate) is blocked
by an object or part of the body, the
power liftgate (tailgate) will detect the
resistance.
• If the resistance is detected while
opening the liftgate (tailgate), it will
stop and move in the opposite
direction.
• If the resistance is detected while
closing the liftgate (tailgate), it will
stop and move in the opposite
direction.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the liftgate (tailgate) is near
the latched position, the automatic
stop and reversal may not detect the
resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power liftgate (tailgate)
may stop at that position. At this time,
close the liftgate (tailgate) manually
and operate the liftgate (tailgate)
OUMA044013
automatically again.
WARNING
Never place any object or part of
your body in the path of the
power liftgate (tailgate) as it is
operating. Doing so could result
in personal injury or damage to
the vehicle.
