Driver Controls The liftgate will only operate with the vehicle in P (Park). The chime will beep once if conditions are not correct to start an operation. These conditions include: • or the ignition is in on and the transmission is not in P (Park) • or the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage • the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h) If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after a open request, a fast continuous chime indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer. Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection feature. Note: Cycling the ignition prior to completely latching the liftgate could result in damage to the liftgate and/or its power components. Make sure the liftgate is fully latched before operating the vehicle. Care should be exercised in starting the engine before the liftgate is fully closed (latched). If the ignition is cycled during a Liftgate Power Close cycle and the liftgate is 6-10 inches (15-24 cm) from being latched, the liftgate may reverse to the full open position. Verify that the gate is closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or it components could be damaged in an enclosure, if the liftgate is open. When power operating the liftgate at temperatures below 32° F (0° C), the liftgate may stop about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the full open position. The liftgate can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the maximum open position. To open the liftgate from the Instrument panel: Press the button once to open the liftgate, press it again to close. 124 2009 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
