If your liftgate is power closing and you put the
vehicle in gear, the liftgate will continue to power
close. However, vehicle movement may result in the
detection of an obstruction.
•
Allow the power system to open the liftgate. Manu-
ally pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the
liftgate obstacle detection feature and stop the
power operation or reverse its direction.
WARNING!
•
Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your pas-
sengers 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.
•
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.
•
Personal injury or cargo damage may occur if
caught in the path of the liftgate. Make sure the
liftgate path is clear before activating the liftgate.
ADJUSTABLE POWER LIFTGATE
HEIGHT
The maximum height that the liftgate will open can be
adjusted and saved so that the liftgate will only open to
the desired height. To set a desired height, proceed as
follows:
1. Open the liftgate fully, then manually pull down on
the liftgate to the desired height.
2. Push and hold the liftgate close button or the lock
button, which are both located on the bottom of the
liftgate, for three seconds. The turn signals will flash
three times to indicate successful activation. The
liftgate is now programmed to open to the set
position.
To set the saved height setting to one of four preset
positions, select the desired setting in Uconnect Set-
tings
page 142.
Power Liftgate Malfunction Procedure:
1. In the event of a power malfunction to the liftgate,
the liftgate can be released by accessing the service
release feature in the latch. This can be done using
a 3 mm diameter screwdriver.
2. From inside the gate, an eyelet can be seen. Place
the screwdriver in the eyelet.
3. Rotate the screwdriver handle to actuate the lever
and release the latch.
4. If liftgate is left open for an extended period of time,
the liftgate may need to be closed manually to reset
power liftgate functionality.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE —
IF EQUIPPED
Hands-Free Liftgate Activation Zone
To open or close the liftgate using hands-free activa-
tion, use a straight in and out kicking motion under the
vehicle activation zone in the general location below
the rear license plate. Do not move your foot sideways
or in a sweeping motion or the sensors may not detect
the motion.
Move your foot under the fascia/bumper, simulating a
kick. When you have completed this movement, with-
draw your leg. To activate the liftgate, both sensors
must detect your leg.
If it is closed, the Hands-Free Liftgate unlocks and
opens completely, and with another movement of the
foot, it stops. A further movement of the foot reverses
the direction and closes the liftgate completely, if you
do not stop it again.
