• 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 oc-
curs, the liftgate must be opened or closed
manually.
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below −22° F (−30° C) or tem-
peratures about 150° F (65° C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from the
liftgate before pushing any of the power
liftgate switches.
• 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.
• Gas props support the liftgate in the open
position. However, because the gas pres-
sure drops with temperature, it may be
necessary to assist the props when open-
ing the liftgate in cold weather.
• Before driving off, check the instrument
cluster for a liftgate or door open message
or warning indicator. Failure to do this
could result in unintentionally leaving the
liftgate open while driving.
• If your liftgate is power closing and you put
the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will con-
tinue to power close. However, vehicle
movement may result in a detection of an
obstruction.
• If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed with the power liftgate is opening,
the liftgate motor will disengage to allow
manual operation.
• If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed while the power liftgate is closing,
the liftgate will reverse to the full open
position.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your ve-
hicle. You and your passengers could be
injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate
WARNING!
closed when you are operating the ve-
hicle.
• If you are required to drive with the
liftgate open, make sure that all win-
dows are closed, and the climate control
blower switch is set at high speed. Do
not use the recirculation mode.
NOTE:
Allow the power system to open the liftgate.
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may
activate the liftgate obstacle detection fea-
ture and stop the power operation or reverse
its direction.
WARNING!
Personal injury or cargo damage may occur
if caught in the path of the liftgate. Make
sure the liftgate path is clear before acti-
vating the liftgate.
