Before driving off, check the instrument cluster for a
liftgate or door open message or warning indicator.
Failure to do this could result in unintentionally leaving
the liftgate open while driving.
If your liftgate is power closing and you put the vehicle
in gear, the liftgate will continue to power close. How-
ever, vehicle movement may result in a detection of an
obstruction.
If the electronic liftgate release handle is pushed with the
power liftgate is opening, the liftgate motor will disen-
gage to allow manual operation.
If the electronic liftgate release handle is pushed while
the power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will reverse to
the full open position.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your pas-
sengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the
liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate open,
make sure that all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is set at high speed. Do
not use the recirculation mode.
NOTE: Allow the power system to open the liftgate.
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the
liftgate obstacle detection feature and stop the power
operation or reverse its direction.
WARNING!
Personal injury or cargo damage may occur if caught in
the path of the liftgate. Make sure the liftgate path is
clear before activating the liftgate.
