Keys, Doors, and Windows 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 located on the side edges of the liftgate. If an object is caught between the liftgate and the body and presses against this sensor, the liftgate will reverse direction and open fully. The liftgate will remain open until it is activated again or closed manually. 2-17 Setting the Power Liftgate 3/4 Mode To change the liftgate stop position. 1. Turn the liftgate switch to either the MAX, or the 3/4 mode position and power open the liftgate. 2. Stop the liftgate movement at the desired height by pressing any liftgate switch. Manually adjust the liftgate position if required. 3. Press and hold the button on the liftgate next to the latch until the turn signals flash and a beep sounds to indicate that the new setting is recorded. When power opened with the 3/4 mode selected, the liftgate stops at the new set position. If you do not receive the audible and visual feedback when setting the intermediate stop position, you are attempting to set the height below the 3/4 open height minimum (approximately 1.52 m or 5 ft). The liftgate cannot be set below that minimum and the new setting will not be recorded.
