Cadillac SRX - Manuel (Page 93)

If the transmission is shifted out of P (Park) while the
power function is in progress, the liftgate power function
will continue to completion. If the transmission is shifted
out of P (Park) and accelerate before the power liftgate
latches closed, the liftgate may reverse to the open
position. Cargo could fall out of the vehicle. Always
make sure the power liftgate is closed and latched
before you drive away.
If you power open the liftgate and the liftgate support
struts have lost pressure, the lights will flash and a
chime will sound. The liftgate will hold open temporarily,
then slowly close. See your dealer for service before
using the liftgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
The vehicle has an obstacle detection sensor located
on the rear edge of the rear quarter panel windows.
If an object is caught between the liftgate and the
window 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.
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 fully
closed or open position. After removing the obstruction,
the liftgate may be power opened or closed normally.
If the liftgate encounters multiple obstacles on the
same power cycle, the power function will deactivate,
and the liftgate will switch to manual operation. The
REAR ACCESS OPEN warning message in the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will indicate that the liftgate is
open. After removing the obstructions, manually open the
liftgate to the fully open position or close the liftgate to the
fully closed and latched position. The liftgate will now
resume normal power operation.
