The key fob and the overhead console switch
will open the liftgate when the liftgate is
locked. The outside handle requires the lift-
gate to be unlocked. Push the button on the
key fob twice within five seconds to open or
close the liftgate.
When the liftgate button on the key fob is
pushed two times, the turn signals will flash
twice 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. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual for further information.
NOTE:
• Before closing the liftgate, make sure to be
in possession of the key because the lift-
gate may be locked.
• Use the interior door lock/unlock button on
the door panel or the key fob to lock and
unlock the liftgate. The manual door locks
on the doors and the exterior door lock
cylinder will not lock and unlock the
liftgate.
Lock The Vehicle
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the lift-
gate travel path is clear. Make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched before driv-
ing away.
NOTE:
• The liftgate will not power open or close if
the gear selector is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open 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 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 above 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 opening
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.
