To set the height of the open liftgate:
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Manually move the liftgate to the desired height.
3. Press and hold the control button on the liftgate until a chime is
heard, indicating the new height has been programmed. Note: If the
liftgate position is too low, the height cannot be programmed.
The new open liftgate height will now be recalled when the power
liftgate is opened. To change the programmed height, repeat the above
procedure. Once the power liftgate is opened it can be manually moved
to a different height.
Note: Do not drive with the liftgate open without first disabling the
power function and securing the liftgate to the vehicle.
Note: The new liftgate height will be retained even if the battery is
disconnected.
To manually operate the liftgate:
1. Disable the liftgate power function. Refer to the Message center in the
Instrument Cluster chapter.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate. Refer to
Manual liftgate in this chapter.
Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme
inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
Obstacle detection
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system will reverse to full open when
it detects an obstacle. A chime will sound three times when an obstacle
is detected as the liftgate begins to reopen. Once the obstacle is
removed, the liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system will stop and a chime will
sound three times when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is
removed, the liftgate can again be operated normally.
