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
obstacle, the power liftgate
operation can be used again.
If the liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle,
the power function will deactivate.
After removing the obstacles, 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
Intermediate Mode
To change the liftgate stop position:
1. Turn the liftgate switch to either
the MAX, or the ¾ mode position
and power open the liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at
the desired height by pressing
any button that operates the
power liftgate, or the touch pad.
Manually adjust the liftgate
position if required.
3. Press and hold the button on the
liftgate adjacent 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
¾ mode selected, the liftgate stops
at the new set position.
If an audible and visual response is
not received when setting the
intermediate stop position, the
liftgate height is below the ¾ open
height minimum, approximately
1.52 m (5 ft) at the edge of the
liftgate.
Manual Operation of Power
Liftgate
To change the liftgate to manual
operation, turn the mode selector
switch to OFF.
With the power liftgate disabled
and all of the doors unlocked,
the liftgate can be manually opened
and closed. Manual operation of
a vehicle with a power liftgate
requires more effort than a standard
non-power liftgate.
