Driver Controls To open the liftgate with the remote entry transmitter: twice within three seconds to fully unlatch and open the Press liftgate. Refer to Remote entry system in the Locks and Security chapter. To open the liftgate with outside liftgate control button (manual actuation): 1. To open, unlock the liftgate with the remote entry transmitter or power door unlock control. 2. To open the liftgate, push the control button located in the top of the liftgate pull cup handle. Note: For the best performance allow the power system to open the liftgate after releasing the control button. Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation. Note: If weight is added to the gate (bike rack, snow, etc.) the gate may automatically start a power close event immediately after a power open. In this mode a unique continuous chime will sound. To close the liftgate with the rear cargo area control button: Press and release the control on the left rear quarter panel to close the liftgate. The chime will beep once if conditions are not correct to start an operation (i.e., the vehicle is out of park). In a normal close, the chime will begin just before the gate starts to move and continue for total of three seconds. Note: The rear cargo area control button is disabled when the liftgate is latched (fully closed). WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear switch. 125 2009 Navigator (nav) Owners Guide, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
