Press and release the control on the
left rear quarter panel to close the
liftgate. The chime will beep once if

starts to move and continue for total
of three seconds.
Press and release the control to open or reverse the liftgate.

opening. While the gate is closed this button cannot activate the Power
liftgate.
Rear cargo area control button will not open the liftgate when the
liftgate is latched.
Warning, keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.

To manually operate the liftgate:

1. Disable the liftgate power function, refer to the Message Center in
this chapter.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate.
Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40° F (-40° C), or on
extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.

Obstacle detection

The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system is designed to reverse to full
open when it encounters a solid obstacle. A three second chime is also
sounded when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is removed, the
liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system is designed to stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle.
