  • The liftgate locks or unlocks when you lock or unlock all the doors with the smart key or the central door lock switch.

  • If you press the liftgate unlock button on the smart key for approximately 1 second, only the liftgate unlocks.

  • If the liftgate is unlocked, you can open it by pressing the handle and pulling it up.

  • Once you open and close the liftgate, it locks automatically. All doors must be locked.

NOTE

In cold and wet climates, the door lock and door mechanisms may not work properly due to freezing conditions.

WARNING

The liftgate swings upward. Make sure no objects or people are near the rear of the vehicle when opening the liftgate.

NOTE

Make sure to close the liftgate before driving your vehicle. Possible damage to the liftgate gas lifters and attached hardware may occur if you do not close the liftgate prior to driving.
