Power Liftgate
Unlocking/Enter The Liftgate Using The RKE Key Fob
The power liftgate may be opened by pulling the liftgate release or by using the button on the
RKE Key Fob. Push the button twice within five seconds, to open the power liftgate.
The power liftgate may also be opened by pushing the button located on the overhead console.
NOTE:
• If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is closing or opening, the liftgate will automati-
cally reverse to the closed or open position, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
• There are also pinch sensors attached to the side of the liftgate opening. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause the liftgate to return to the open position.
• 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 gear selector 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
pushing 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.
• In the event of a power malfunction to the liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch release can be
used to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed through a
snap-in cover located on the liftgate trim panel.
• If the liftgate is left open for an extended period of time, the liftgate may need to be closed
manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and
your passengers 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
temperature, it may be necessary to assist the props when opening the liftgate in cold weather.
