Press on the bottom of the
tailgate next to the pull cup to
close.
Press any tailgate button or the touch
pad while the tailgate is moving to
stop it. Pressing again restarts the
operation in the reverse direction. The
touch pad on the tailgate handle
cannot be used to close the tailgate.
Caution
Manually forcing the tailgate to
open or close during a power cycle
can damage the vehicle. Allow the
power cycle to complete.
The power tailgate may be temporarily
disabled under extreme low
temperatures, or after repeated power
cycling over a short period of time.
If this occurs, the tailgate can still be
operated manually.
If the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park)
while the power function is in
progress, the tailgate will continue to
completion. If the vehicle is
accelerated before the tailgate has
completed moving, the tailgate may
stop or reverse direction. Check for
Driver Information Centre (DIC)
messages and make sure the tailgate
is closed and latched before driving.
Falling Tailgate Detection
The power tailgate will automatically
close if the support strut has lost
pressure. See your dealer for service
before using the power tailgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the tailgate encounters an obstacle
during a power open or close cycle,
the tailgate will automatically reverse
direction and move a short distance
away from the obstacle. After
removing the obstruction, the power
KEYS, DOORS, AND WINDOWS
tailgate operation can be used again.
If the tailgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
After removing the obstructions,
manually close the tailgate which will
allow normal power operation
functions to resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the
tailgate is closing, and an obstacle is
encountered that prevents the tailgate
from completely closing, the horn will
sound as an alert that the tailgate did
not close.
Pinch sensors are on the side edges of
the tailgate. If an object is caught
between the tailgate and the vehicle
and presses against this sensor, the
tailgate will reverse direction and
open fully. The tailgate will remain
open until it is activated again or
closed manually.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the tailgate
stops at when opening:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and
power open the tailgate.
