68 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the system
will automatically stop. If this occurs, the lift-
gate must be opened or closed manually.
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 lift-
gate switches.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate func-
tionality.
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 liftgate
in cold weather.
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. However, vehicle movement
may result in a detection of an obstruction.
If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed while the power liftgate is opening,
the liftgate motor will disengage 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.
NOTE:
Allow the power system to open the liftgate. Manu-
ally pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the
liftgate obstacle detection feature and stop the
power operation or reverse its direction.
Cargo Area Features
Cargo Load Floor
The cargo load floor system has a load capacity
of 400 lbs (181 kg).
Cargo Load Floor Positions
The cargo load floor can be adjusted to three
different levels to create more space in the
cargo area. These positions are: upper, center,
and lower.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers 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!
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.
