● The lift gate must be unlocked to open it with the outside opener handle. ● The switch on the rear pillar cannot be used to open the lift gate . A warning chime will sound if the shift selector is moved out of P (Park) during a power open operation. Power Close: The power lift gate automatically moves from the fully open position to the secondary position. When the lift gate reaches the secondary position, the cinching motor engages and pulls the lift gate to its primary latch position. Power close takes approximately seven to ten seconds. The power close feature can be activated by the switch on the keyfob, the overhead console 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 seconds before the lift gate closes. ● The switch on the rear pillar can only be used to close the lift gate if the main ON/OFF switch is ON. Reverse: The power lift gate will reverse direction immediately during power open or power close if the keyfob, overhead console or rear pillar switch is pressed. 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 lift gate will reverse direction and return to the full open or full close position. If a second obstacle is detected, the lift gate motion will stop and the drive motor will disengage. The lift gate will enter manual mode. A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the lift gate . If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip during power close, the lift gate 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 lift gate. Manual Mode: If power operation is not available, the lift gate may be operated manually. Power operation may not be available if the main ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position, if multiple obstacles have been detected in a single power cycle, or if battery voltage is low.
