2-10 Keys, Doors, and Windows
The power tailgate may be
temporarily disabled under extreme
temperatures, or under low battery
conditions. If this occurs, the tailgate
can still be operated manually.
If the transmission is shifted out of P
(Park) while the power function is in
progress, the tailgate power function
will continue to completion. If the
transmission is shifted out of P
(Park) and the vehicle accelerates
before the power tailgate latches
closed, the tailgate may reverse to
the open position. Cargo could fall
out of the vehicle. Always make
sure the power tailgate is closed
and latched before driving away.
If the tailgate is opened using power
operation and the tailgate support
struts have lost pressure, the
indicators flash and a chime will
sound. The tailgate stays open
temporarily, and then slowly closes.
See a dealer for service before
using the tailgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the tailgate encounters an
obstacle during a power open or
close cycle, a warning chime will
sound and the tailgate will
automatically reverse direction to
the full closed or open position.
After removing the obstruction, the
power tailgate operation can be
used again. If the tailgate
encounters multiple obstacles on
the same power cycle, the power
function will deactivate and a
message will display in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC). See
Object Detection System Messages
on page 5-31. After removing the
obstructions, the tailgate will resume
normal power operation.
Pinch sensors are located on the
side edges of the tailgate. If an
object is caught between the
tailgate and the vehicle and presses
against this sensor, the tailgate will
reverse direction and open fully. The
tailgate will remain open until it is
activated again or closed manually.
