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.

Note: Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could

result in damage to the liftgate and/or its power components. Make sure

the liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle.

Care should be exercised in starting the engine before the liftgate is fully

closed (latched). If the ignition is cycled during a liftgate power close

cycle and the liftgate is 6-10 inches (15–24 cm) from being latched, the

liftgate may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the gate is

closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure,

like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or its components could

be damaged in an enclosure if the liftgate is open while the vehicle is

being operated.

When operating the power liftgate after a lower height than full-open has

been programmed, the liftgate can be fully opened by manually pushing

it upward to the maximum open position.

The power liftgate feature can be enabled or disabled using the message

center controls. With the setting turned off, power operation is disabled

from the liftgate handle button and from the control button on the

liftgate. The transmitter and instrument panel switch will still continue to

operate the liftgate regardless of the position state of the message

center. Refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter.

To power open or close the

liftgate from the instrument

panel:

Press the button, located to the left

of the steering column, once to power open or close the liftgate.

To power open or close the liftgate with the transmitter:

Press

twice within three seconds to open the liftgate. Refer to

Remote entry system in the Locks and Security chapter.
