The emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the liftgate trim panel. WARNING! During power operation, personal injury or cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched before driving away. A beeping signal will sound two seconds before the liftgate starts to open or close.
