A warning chime will sound if the shift selector lever is moved out of P (Park) during a power open operation. Power Close: The power back door automatically moves from the fully open position to the secondary position. When the door reaches the secondary position, the cinching motor engages and pulls the door to its primary latch position. Power close takes approximately 7 - 10 seconds. The power close feature can be activated by the switch on the keyfob, the instrument panel and the rear pillar. The hazard lights flash and a chime sounds to indicate the power close sequence has been started. ● If the outside opener handle is activated while the cinching motor is engaged, the cinching motor will disengage and release the latch. ● The keyfob button must be held for 0.5 second before the door closes. ● The switch on the rear pillar can only be used to close the back door if the cancel switch is not in the on position. Reverse: The power back door will reverse direction immediately during power open or power close if the keyfob, instrument panel or rear pillar switch is pressed or if the outside handle is lifted. A chime will sound to announce the reversal. Auto Reverse: If an obstacle is detected during power open or power close, a warning chime will sound and the door will reverse direction and return to the full open or full close position. If a second obstacle is detected, the door motion will stop and the drive motor will disengage. The back door will enter manual mode. A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the back door. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip during power close, the door will reverse direction and return to the full open position. NOTE: If the pinch strip is damaged or removed, the power close function will not operate. WARNING There are some small distances immediately before the closed position which cannot be detected. Make sure that all passengers have their hands, etc., inside the vehicle before closing the door. Manual Mode: If power operation is not available, the back door may be operated manually. Power operation may not be available if the cancel switch is in the on position, if multiple obstacles have been detected in a single power cycle, or if battery voltage is low.
