Three warning tones sound as the liftgate
begins to power close. One short chime
indicates a problem with the open or close
request, caused by:
•
The ignition is on and the transmission
is not in park (P).
•
The battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage.
•
The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph
(5 km/h).
If the liftgate starts to close after it has fully
opened, this indicates there may be
excessive weight on the liftgate or a possible
gas strut failure. A repetitive chime sounds
and the liftgate closes under control. Remove
any excessive weight from the liftgate. If the
liftgate continues to close after opening,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
