mounted cargo during power
operation. The liftgate can still be
fully opened manually.
OFF: The liftgate only operates
manually in this position.
Manual operation of a liftgate that
also has power operation requires
more effort than a standard manual
liftgate.
In either the MAX or the 3/4 mode,
the liftgate can be power opened
and closed by:
. First pressing K and then
pressing and holding
V
on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter until the liftgate starts
moving. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation
on page 2‑3.
. Pressing the power liftgate
button in the center of the mode
switch on the overhead console,
with the driver door unlocked.
. Pressing the touchpad switch on
the liftgate outside handle, with
all doors unlocked, to open the
liftgate.
Press and release
&
on the
liftgate adjacent to the latch to close
the liftgate.
Pressing any button, or the
touchpad switch, while the liftgate is
moving stops it. Pressing the button
or RKE switch again reverses the
direction. The touchpad switch
will stop the liftgate from moving.
There is a minimum distance that
the power liftgate must already be
open for the system to hold it open.
If movement is stopped below that
minimum, the liftgate closes.
Do not force the liftgate open or
closed during a power cycle.
The power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled under extreme
temperatures or low battery
conditions. If this occurs, the liftgate
can still be operated manually.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) while the power function is
in progress, the liftgate power
function will continue to completion.
If you shift the transmission out of
P (Park) and accelerate before the
power liftgate latch is closed, the
liftgate may reverse to the open
position. Cargo could fall out of the
vehicle. Always make sure the
power liftgate is closed and latched
before you drive away.
