GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 61
(Continued)
closing, and an audible chime can be heard (if
enabled in the Uconnect Settings Ú page 139).
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. If the vehicle is equipped with
Passive Entry, and a valid Passive Entry key fob
is within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, pulling the
outside handle will unlock and open the liftgate.
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.
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is
programmed in Uconnect Settings, all doors
will unlock with a handle activation. If
“Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” is
programmed in Uconnect Settings, only the
liftgate will unlock.
The power liftgate buttons will not operate if
the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 mph (0 km/h).
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 anything obstructs the power liftgate while
it is closing or opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or open posi-
tion. After multiple obstructions in the same
cycle, the liftgate will automatically stop and
must be opened or closed manually.
There are also pinch sensors attached to the
side of the liftgate. Light pressure anywhere
along these strips will cause the liftgate to
return to the open position.
The power liftgate must be in the full open
position in order for the rear liftgate close
button, on the left rear trim near the liftgate
opening, to operate. If the liftgate is not fully
open, push the liftgate button on the key fob
to fully open the liftgate and then push it
again to close.
If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed a second time while the power lift-
gate is opening, the liftgate motor will disen-
gage to allow manual operation.
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 the detection of an obstruction.
Lock The Vehicle
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the liftgate, pushing the Passive Entry
lock button located to the right of the electronic
liftgate release handle will lock the vehicle.
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.
