CAUTION
 Do not fully close the power liftgate with
your hand still on the power liftgate grip.
Doing so could trap and injure your hand or
arm.
Power liftgate easy closer
The power liftgate easy closer is designed to
help the power liftgate close securely.
If the power liftgate is closed to a position
where it is detected as being ajar, it closes
automatically.

the power liftgate while the power liftgate
easy closer is activated. To return the
power liftgate to the slightly ajar position
while the power liftgate easy closer is acti-
vated, press the power liftgate open
switch.
CAUTION
 Do not touch the latch (A) on the inside of
the power liftgate. The power liftgate easy
closer could operate and catch your fingers.

porarily prevent the power liftgate easy
closer from operating.

operating the power liftgate easy closer
again.
