Liftgate Pull Handle/Closing Liftgate
NOTE:
Before closing the liftgate, make sure to be in
possession of the key because the liftgate may
be locked.
Power Liftgate — If Equipped
The power liftgate may be opened or
closed by the key fob, outside handle,
overhead console switch, and the
liftgate switch on the upper left trim.
Using any of the following ways:
When the liftgate is fully closed, the liftgate
will open.
When the liftgate is fully open, the liftgate will
close.
When the liftgate is moving, the liftgate will
reverse.
The key fob and the overhead console switch
will open the liftgate when the liftgate is locked.
The outside handle requires the liftgate to be
unlocked. Push the button on the key fob twice
within five seconds to open or close 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. Refer to "Uconnect Settings" in
"Multimedia” for further information.
NOTE:
Before closing the liftgate, make sure to be in
possession of the key because the liftgate
may be locked.
Use the interior door lock/unlock button on
the door panel or the key fob to lock and
unlock the liftgate. The manual door locks on
the doors and the exterior door lock cylinder
will not lock and unlock the liftgate.
Lock The Vehicle
NOTE:
The liftgate will not power open or close if the
gear selector is in gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 mph (0 km/h).
If anything obstructs the power liftgate while
it is closing or opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or open posi-
tion, 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.
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.
