before using the tailgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the tailgate encounters an
obstacle during a power open or
close cycle, a warning chime will
sound and the tailgate will
automatically reverse direction to
the full closed or open position.
After removing the obstruction, the
power 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, the
tailgate will resume normal power
operation.
The vehicle has pinch sensors
located on the side edges of the
tailgate. If an object is caught
between the tailgate and the body
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 Power Tailgate
3/4 Mode
To change the tailgate stop position:
1. Turn the tailgate switch to the
MAX or 3/4 mode position and
power open the tailgate.
2. Stop the tailgate movement at
the desired height by pressing
any tailgate switch. Manually
adjust the tailgate position if
required.
3. Press and hold the button on the
tailgate next to the latch until the
indicators flash and a beep
sounds to indicate that the new
setting is recorded.
When power opened with the 3/
4 mode selected, the tailgate stops
at the new set position.
If you do not receive the audible and
visual feedback when setting the
intermediate stop position, you are
attempting to set the height below
the 3/4 open height minimum
(approximately 1.52 m or 5 ft). The
tailgate cannot be set below that
minimum and the new setting will
not be recorded.
Manual Operation of Power
Tailgate
To change the tailgate to manual
operation, turn the mode switch to
the OFF position.
With the power tailgate disabled and
all of the doors unlocked, the
tailgate can be manually opened
and closed. The effort required to
operate a power tailgate is greater
than the effort required to operate a
non-power tailgate.
To open the tailgate, press the touch
pad on the handle on the outside of
the tailgate, and lift the gate open.
To close the tailgate, use the pull
cup to lower the tailgate and close.
With the power tailgate disabled, the
tailgate electric latch will still power
