to the closed/open position, provided it meets sufficient
resistance.
• There are pinch sensors attached to the side of the liftgate
opening. Light pressure anywhere along these strips will
cause the liftgate to return to the open position.
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions
within the same cycle, the system will automatically stop.
If this occurs, the liftgate must be operated manually.
• The power liftgate will release, but not power open, in
temperatures below −12°F (−24°C). Be sure to remove any
buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate before opening the
liftgate.
• If the liftgate is left open for an extended period of time, the
liftgate may need to be closed manually to reset power lift-
gate functionality.
Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with temperature,
it may be necessary to assist the props when opening the lift-
gate in cold weather.
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!
• Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your passen-
gers 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.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or cargo
damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel path is
clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched before
driving away.
