NOTE l l Power liftgate drop prevention mechanism The power liftgate drop prevention mechanism activates if the system detects weight such as that caused by a snowladen liftgate when it is opened electrically. After the liftgate is fully opened, the beep sound will be heard and the liftgate closes automatically. NOTE l If the liftgate handle is pulled while the easy closure function is operating, the liftgate can be opened. If the liftgate is opened/closed repeatedly in a short period of time, the easy closure function may not operate. Wait for a while and then try again. l If the power liftgate is snow-laden, remove the snow before operating the liftgate. Trying to force the power liftgate closed manually immediately after it has fully opened automatically may activate the liftgate drop prevention mechanism. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Liftgate easy closure The Easy Closure system automatically closes the liftgate completely from the near-shut position. This system also operates when the liftgate is closed manually. WARNING When closing a liftgate, always keep hands and fingers away from the liftgate: Placing hands or fingers around a liftgate is dangerous because the liftgate closes automatically from the near-shut position, which could cause hands and fingers to be pinched and injured. 3-34 Form No.8V83-EA-06I
