Occupant Restraint Systems; Important Safety Precautions - Jeep grand cherokee 2016 Operating Information Manual

• If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop and the
liftgate must be opened or closed
manually.
• If your liftgate is power closing and you
put the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will
continue to power close. However, ve-
hicle movement may result in a detection
of an obstruction.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your ve-
hicle. You and your passengers could be
injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate
closed when you are operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
