Section 1
To disable the power liftgate, press
the bottom of the power liftgate
button located on the overhead
console.
Do not drive with the liftgate
open, if possible.
If you must drive with the liftgate
open, disable the power feature
for the liftgate.
If the power liftgate is disabled, the
liftgate may be opened or closed
manually.
• To open the liftgate, pull up on
the handle on the outside of
the liftgate.
• To close the liftgate, pull down
on the handle, then firmly shut
the liftgate.
In extremely low temperatures,
the power liftgate may be
temporarily disabled.
Open or close the liftgate
manually until the power liftgate
function reactivates.
The REAR ACCESS OPEN message
will appear in the Driver Information
Center when the liftgate or
liftglass is not completely closed.
A chime will also sound and the
interior lights will turn on.
See "Driver Information Center"
earlier in this section for
information.
Obstruction Detection Feature
If the power liftgate presses
against an obstruction while it is
opening or closing, the liftgate
automatically reverses direction.
A chime will also sound.
The power liftgate will function
normally once the obstruction is
removed.
If the power liftgate is not able
to fully open or close because of
multiple obstructions on the same
cycle, the power function will
deactivate when the liftgate
contacts the obstruction and
the liftgate will switch to manual
operation.
