2-22 Keys, Doors, and Windows Manual Operation of Power Liftgate To change the liftgate to manual operation, with the vehicle in P (Park) for an automatic transmission or Neutral for a manual transmission, turn the mode selector switch to OFF. With the power liftgate disabled and all of the doors unlocked, the liftgate can be manually opened and closed. Manual operation of a vehicle with a power liftgate requires more effort than a standard non-power liftgate. To open the liftgate, press the touch pad under the liftgate handle and lift. To close the liftgate, use the pull cup. With the power liftgate disabled, the liftgate electric latch will still power latch once contact is made with the striker. Always close the liftgate before driving. If 8 is pressed on the RKE transmitter while power operation is disabled, the turn signals will flash and the liftgate will not move. The liftgate has an electric latch. If the battery is disconnected or has low voltage, the liftgate will not open. The liftgate will resume operation when the battery is reconnected and charged. 2. Stop the liftgate movement at the desired height by pressing any button that operates the power liftgate, or the touch pad. Manually adjust the liftgate position if required. 3. Press and hold the button on the liftgate adjacent 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 ¾ mode selected, the liftgate stops at the new set position. If an audible and visual response is not received when setting the intermediate stop position then the liftgate height is below the ¾ open height minimum, approximately 1.52 m (5 ft). The liftgate cannot be set below that minimum.
