Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an
obstacle during a power open
or close cycle, a warning chime
will sound and the liftgate will
automatically reverse direction to
the full closed or open position.
After removing the obstruction,
the power liftgate operation can be
used again. If the liftgate encounters
multiple obstacles on the same
power cycle, the power function
will deactivate. After removing the
obstructions, the liftgate will resume
normal power operation.
The vehicle has pinch sensors
located on the side edges of the
liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the body
and presses against this sensor,
the liftgate will reverse direction and
open fully. The liftgate will remain
open until it is activated again or
closed manually.

Keys, Doors, and Windows
When power opened with
the 3/4 mode selected, the liftgate
stops at the new set position.
If you do not receive the audible and
visual feedback when setting the
intermediate stop position, you are
attempting to set the height below
the 3/4 open height minimum
(approximately 1.52 m or 5 ft).
The liftgate cannot be set below
that minimum and the new setting
will not be recorded.
