Power Liftgate - If Equipped

The power liftgate may be opened by pushing the electronic liftgate release (refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go - Passive Entry" located in "Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle") or by pushing the LIFTGATE button on the key fob. Push the LIFTGATE button on the key fob twice within five seconds to open the power liftgate.

Once the liftgate is open, pushing the button twice within five seconds a second time will close the liftgate.

The power liftgate may also be opened or closed by pushing the LIFTGATE button located on the front overhead console. If the liftgate is fully open, the liftgate can be closed by pushing the LIFTGATE button located on left rear trim panel, near the liftgate opening. If the liftgate is in motion, pushing the LIFTGATE button located on left rear trim panel will reverse 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. For further information, refer to Uconnect Settings in Understanding Your Instrument Panel.

NOTE:

•  In the event of a power malfunction to the liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch release can be used to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the liftgate trim panel.
•  If liftgate is left open for an extended period of time, the liftgate may need to be closed manually to reset power liftgate functionality.

NOTE:

•  The power liftgate buttons will not operate if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle speed is above 0 MPH (0 km/h).
•  The power liftgate will not operate in temperatures below −22 F (−30 C) or temperatures 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 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 also pinch sensors attached to the side of the liftgate. Light pressure anywhere along these strips will cause the liftgate to return to the open position.
•  If the liftgate is not fully open, push the Liftgate button on the key fob twice to operate the liftgate.
•  If the electronic liftgate release is pushed while the power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will reverse to the full open position.
•  If the electronic liftgate release is pushed while the power liftgate is opening, the liftgate motor will disengage to allow manual operation.
•  If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions within the same cycle, the system will automatically stop and the liftgate must be opened or closed manually.
