When operating the power liftgate after a set height lower than full-open
is set, you can fully open the liftgate by manually pushing it upward to
the maximum open position.
Obstacle Detection
When closing: The system will reverse to full open when it detects an
obstacle. A tone will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen.
Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate.
Note: Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause the
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow
the power liftgate to fully close before entering the vehicle. Before
driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar
message or warning indicator. Driving off without first checking for the
liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while you are driving.
When opening: The system will stop and a tone will sound three times
when it detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.
Resetting the Power Liftgate
The liftgate may not operate properly and you may need to reset it if any
of these conditions occur:
• A low voltage or dead battery
• A disconnected battery
• You manually close the liftgate and leave it ajar (unlatched)
To reset the power liftgate:
1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery.
2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.
3. Power open the liftgate by using the transmitter or the instrument
panel control button.
