76 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
In the event of a power malfunction to the lift-

gate, an emergency liftgate latch release can
be used to open the liftgate. The emergency
liftgate latch release can be accessed
through a snap-in cover located on the lift-
gate trim panel.
If liftgate is left open for an extended period

of time, the liftgate may need to be closed
manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
The power liftgate buttons will not operate if

the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 mph (0 km/h).
The power liftgate will not operate in

temperatures below −22°F (−30°C) or
temperatures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure
to remove any buildup of snow or ice from the
liftgate before pushing any of the power lift-
gate switches.
If anything obstructs the power liftgate while

it is closing or opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or open posi-
tion, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
There are also pinch sensors attached to the

side of the liftgate. Light pressure anywhere
along these strips will cause the liftgate to
return to the open position.
If the liftgate is not fully open, push the lift-

gate button on the key fob twice to operate
the liftgate.
If the electronic liftgate release is pushed

while the power liftgate is closing, the liftgate
will reverse to the full open position.
If the electronic liftgate release is pushed

while the power liftgate is opening, the lift-
gate motor will disengage to allow manual
operation.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple

obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop and the lift-
gate must be opened or closed manually.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow

poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
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.
