• During power operation, whether liftgate is fully open

or fully closed, the liftgate chime will beep several
times indicating power operation is in progress.

• The power liftgate must be in the full open or close

positions for any of the buttons to operate. If the
liftgate is not in the full open or close positions, it must
be opened or closed manually.

• If the liftgate release button is activated while the

power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will reverse to the
full open position.

• The power liftgate buttons will not operate if the shift

lever is in gear or the vehicle speed is above 0 mph
(0 km/h).

• The power liftgate will not operate in temperatures below

−12°F (−24°C) or temperatures above 143°F (62°C). Be
sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice from the
liftgate before pressing any of the power liftgate buttons.

• If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions

within the same cycle, the system will automatically
stop and must be opened or closed manually.

WARNING!

Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous

exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your pas-
sengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the
liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle.

If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,

make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
Do not use the recirculation mode.

Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
