Do not force the liftgate open or closed during a power cycle. This may activate the system's obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation. The power liftgate may be temporarily disabled under extreme temperatures or low battery conditions. If this occurs, the liftgate can still be operated manually. If you shift the transmission out of P (Park) while the power function is in progress, the liftgate power function will continue to completion. If you shift the transmission out of P (Park) and accelerate before the power liftgate latch is closed, the liftgate may reverse to the open position. Cargo could fall out of the vehicle. Always make sure the power liftgate is closed and latched before you drive away. If after a power opening, the liftgate stays open momentarily, then slowly closes with continuous chiming sounds and turn signal flashes, the support strut may have lost pressure. See your dealer for service before using the liftgate.

Obstacle Detection Features If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during a power open or close cycle, a warning chime will sound and the liftgate will automatically reverse direction to the full closed or open position. After removing the obstruction, the power liftgate operation can be used again. If the liftgate encounters multiple obstacles on the same power cycle, the power function will deactivate. After removing the obstructions, the liftgate will resume normal power operation. The vehicle has pinch sensors on the side edges of the liftgate. If an object is caught between the liftgate and the body and presses against one of these sensors, the liftgate will reverse direction and open fully. The liftgate will remain open until it is activated again or closed manually. Setting the 3/4 Mode To change the liftgate stop position: 1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and

open the liftgate.

Power Sounder, Inclination Sensor, and Intrusion Sensor In addition to the standard theft-deterrent system features, this system may also have an inclination sensor, intrusion sensor, and power sounder. The power sounder provides an audible alarm which is different from the vehicle’s horn. It has its own power source, and can sound an alarm when the vehicle’s battery is compromised. The inclination sensor can set off the alarm if it senses movement of the vehicle, such as a change in vehicle orientation. The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle interior, and can set off the alarm it if senses an unauthorized entry into the vehicle’s interior. Do not allow passengers or pets to remain in the vehicle when the intrusion sensor is activated.
