Locks 77 If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast continuous chime indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut failure. See your authorized dealer if you still have a fast chime after the load is removed. To open or close from the instrument panel: Press the instrument panel button. To open or close with the remote control: Press the remote control button twice within three seconds. To open with the outside liftgate control button: 1. Unlock the liftgate with the remote control or power door unlock control. If the intelligent access transmitter (if equipped) is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, the liftgate will unlock when you press the liftgate release button. 2. Press the button located on the surface above the license plate. Note: Allow the power system to open the liftgate after pressing the control. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the system's obstacle detection feature and stops the power operation. To close with the rear cargo area control: Press and release the button located within the rear cargo area. WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear switch. 2013 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
