Driver Controls To power open the PLG with outside release handle: 1. Ensure that the Power Door Lockout Control in the overhead console is ON. 2. Ensure that the PLG is unlocked, using the key fob or power door unlock. Refer to Remote Entry System in the Locks and security chapter. 3. Pull up on the liftgate handle to engage the power assist feature. Release the handle as soon as the PLG begins to power open. Note: Continued force applied after unlatching may activate the obstacle detection feature and stop the power system. For the best performance allow the power system to open the PLG after releasing the handle. To power close the PLG from the liftgate trim switch: 1. Ensure the Power Door Lockout Control is in the ON position. 2. Press and release the control on the bottom of the liftgate trim panel to engage the power assist feature. If a single chime is heard, check to be sure that the Power Door Lockout Switch is set to ON and that the transaxle is in Park. To operate the PLG manually: 1. Disable the liftgate power function by placing the Power Door Lockout Control in the OFF position. 2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate. Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40° F (-40° C), or on extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested. Safety/Obstructions If anything obstructs the PLG while it is power opening or closing, the PLG will automatically reverse or stop depending on the position of the liftgate, provided it meets sufficient resistance. If the PLG encounters an obstacle while closing, the PLG will reverse to full open. Once the obstacle is removed, the PLG can be again closed under power.
