Vehicles Equipped With A Trailer Tow Package
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the Trailer Tow Package, the hands-free activation zone(s) for the
Power Liftgate will be located on the left and right side of the receiver. Use a straight kicking
motion under either activation zone to open the Hands-Free Liftgate.
When a valid kicking motion is completed, the
liftgate will chime, the hazard lights will flash
and the liftgate will open after approximately
one second. This assumes all options are en-
abled in the radio.
NOTE:
To open the Hands-Free Liftgate requires a
valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
the door handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob
is not within 5 ft (1.5 m), the liftgate will not
respond to any kicks.
NOTE:
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be turned on or off in Uconnect Settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual at www.chrysler.com/en/
owners/manuals for further information. The Hands-Free Liftgate feature should be turned off
during Jacking, Tire Changing, and Vehicle Service.
NOTE:
• The Hands-Free Liftgate will only operate when the transmission is in PARK.
• If anything obstructs the Hands-Free liftgate while it is opening, the liftgate will automatically
reverse to the closed position, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
• There are 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.
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions within the same cycle, the system will
automatically stop. If this occurs, the liftgate must be operated manually.
• The power liftgate will release, but not power open, in temperatures below −12° F (−24° C). Be
sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate before opening the liftgate.
• 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.
