Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle
during a power open or close cycle,
a warning chime will sound and the
liftgate will automatically reverse
direction to the full closed or open
position. After removing the
obstruction, the power liftgate
operation can be used again.
If the liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
The POWER LIFTGATE
UNAVAILABLE warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC)
will display. After removing the
obstructions, the liftgate will resume
normal power operation.
The vehicle has pinch sensors
located on the side edges of the
liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the body
and presses against this sensor, the
liftgate will reverse direction and
open fully. The liftgate will remain
open until it is activated again or
closed manually.
Setting the Power Liftgate
3/4 Mode
To change the liftgate stop position.
1. Turn the liftgate switch to either
the MAX, or the 3/4 mode
position and power open the
liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at
the desired height by pressing
any liftgate switch. Manually
adjust the liftgate position if
required.
3. Press and hold the button on the
liftgate next to the latch until the
turn signals flash and a beep
sounds to indicate that the new
setting is recorded.
When power opened with the
3/4 mode selected, the liftgate
stops at the new set position.
If you do not receive the audible and
visual feedback when setting the
intermediate stop position, you are
attempting to set the height below
the 3/4 open height minimum
(approximately 1.52 m or 5 ft).
The liftgate cannot be set below that
minimum and the new setting will
not be recorded.
Manual Operatio n of Power
Liftgate
To change the liftgate to manual
operation, turn the mode switch to
the OFF position.
With the power liftgate disabled
and all of the doors unlocked, the
liftgate can be manually opened
and closed. The effort required to
operate a power liftgate is greater
than the effort required to operate a
non-power liftgate.
