LIFTGATE
POWER LIFTGATE — IF EQUIPPED
The power liftgate may be opened by
pushing the liftgate release handle
Ú
page 24 or by pushing the liftgate
button on the key fob. Push the liftgate
button on the key fob twice within five seconds to
open or close the power liftgate.
NOTE:
When using the liftgate button on the key fob
to open the liftgate while the vehicle is
locked, only the liftgate will unlock leaving
the other doors to remain locked. Closing the
liftgate will not re-lock the liftgate. The lock
button on the key fob, or the Passive Entry
lock button must be pushed to re-lock.
If the Passive Entry button is used to open the lift-
gate and all the doors unlock, the liftgate and
vehicle doors must be locked again. Use the key
fob, Passive Entry lock button, or the power door
lock switches on the front door panels.
The power liftgate may also be opened or closed
by pushing the liftgate button located on the
front overhead console. If the liftgate is fully
open, it can be closed by pushing the liftgate
button located on the left rear trim panel. If the
liftgate is in motion, pushing the button again
will reverse the liftgate.
When the liftgate button on the key fob is
pushed two times, the turn signals will flash
to signal that the liftgate is opening or closing
(if Flash Lamps with Lock is enabled in the
Uconnect settings), and the liftgate chime will
be audible. The chime can be turned on or off
through the Uconnect Settings Ú page 175.
NOTE:
In the event of a power malfunction to the lift-
gate, 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 lift-
gate trim panel.
If liftgate is left open for an extended period
of time, the liftgate may need to be closed
manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
NOTE:
The power liftgate buttons will not operate if
the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 mph (0 km/h).
The power liftgate will not operate in
temperatures below −22°F (−30°C) or
temperatures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure
to remove any buildup of snow or ice from the
liftgate before pushing any of the power lift-
gate switches.
If anything obstructs the power liftgate while
it is closing or opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or open posi-
tion. After multiple obstructions in the same
cycle, the liftgate will automatically stop and
must be opened or closed manually.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the
hood to close it. Lower hood to approximately
12 inches (30 cm) and drop the hood to
close. Make sure hood is fully closed for both
latches. Never drive vehicle unless hood is
fully closed, with both latches engaged.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
