POWER LIFTGATE (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a crash, people riding in
these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.
Make sure to close and latch the
liftgate to prevent drawing exhaust
fumes into your vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out. If you must drive with the liftgate open,
keep the vents or windows open so outside
air comes into your vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
Keep keys out of reach of children.
Do not allow children to operate or
play near an open or moving power
liftgate. You should supervise the
operation of the power liftgate at all times.
You can operate the liftgate using the
remote control, the center console switch,
the liftgate switch, the liftgate release
handle or the hands-free feature.
Note: Make sure there is enough headroom
to open the liftgate.
Note: If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, make sure the transmission
selector lever is in park.
Note: In extreme weather conditions,
automatic opening and closing will not work
with the liftgate frozen to the seal.
Note: The liftgate will stop automatically
while opening and reverse some distance if
there is an obstacle in the way.
Note: The liftgate will stop automatically
while closing and fully open if there is an
obstacle in the way.
Note: You can manually operate the
liftgate.

You will hear three chimes when the
liftgate begins to close.
Five short chimes indicate a malfunction
with the open or close request. This could
be caused by one of the following:
• You switch the ignition on and the
transmission selector lever is not in
park.
• The battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage.
• Your vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h.
To open a fully closed liftgate, you can
either:
• Press the button on the remote control
twice within three seconds.
• Press the center console switch.
• Use the liftgate release handle.
• Use the hands-free feature.
