Power Liftgate
On vehicles with a power liftgate,
the switch is on the driver door. The
vehicle must be in P (Park) to use
the power feature. The taillamps
flash when the power liftgate
moves.

Warning
You, or others, could be injured if
caught in the path of the power
liftgate. Make sure there is no one
in the way of the liftgate as it is
opening and closing.
Choose the power liftgate mode by
turning the dial on the switch until
the indicator lines up with the
desired position. Press the center of
the switch.
The three modes are:
MAX: The liftgate opens to the full
open height.
3/4: The liftgate opens to a reduced
height that can be set by the vehicle
operator in a range of approximately
three-quarters open to full open.
Use this setting to prevent the
liftgate from opening into overhead
obstructions such as a garage door
or roof mounted cargo during power
operation. The liftgate can still be
manually opened all the way.
OFF: The liftgate only operates
manually in this position.
Manual operation of a liftgate that
also has power operation requires
more effort than with a standard
manual liftgate.
In either the MAX or the 3/4 mode,
the liftgate can be power opened
and closed by:
.
Pressing h on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
until the liftgate starts moving.
See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on
page 2-3.
.
Pressing 8 on the center of
the liftgate mode switch on the
driver door, with the driver door
unlocked.
.
Pressing the touch pad button
on the liftgate outside handle,
with all doors unlocked, to open
the liftgate.
