Position the floor mat so that the
eyelet is over the pointed end of the
retention post and rotate forward to
lock in. Make sure that the mat does
not interfere with the operation of
the accelerator or the brake pedal.
To remove the floor mat, reverse the
installation procedure.

POWER LIFTGATE
You can power open or close the liftgate with the following controls:
• Instrument panel control button

• Transmitter button

• Outside liftgate control button

• Control button in the rear cargo area
Opening and closing the power liftgate:

WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.

WARNING: Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow
children to play near an open or moving power liftgate.

The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P (Park).
When the liftgate is being power closed, a chime will sound three times
as the liftgate begins to power close. A single chime indicates a problem
with the close request, caused by:
• the ignition is on and the transmission is not in P (Park);

• or the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage;

• or the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast
continuous chime indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut
failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster
chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.
Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the
power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection
feature.
