Automatic reverse

During power liftgate operation, if the power liftgate senses any obstacle, the liftgate will either stop or fully open. The automatic reverse feature may not operate properly, or it may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:

  • The automatic reverse feature may not detect resistance if it is below a certain level, or if the liftgate is almost fully closed near the latched position.

  • The automatic reverse feature may operate if you close the liftgate too strongly.

WARNING

Never intentionally place any object or part of your body in the path of the power liftgate to make sure the automatic reverse feature operates. This may result in serious injury or damage to the vehicle.

TIP

The power liftgate may stop operating if the automatic reverse feature operates more than 2 times while you attempt to open or close the liftgate. If this occurs, carefully open or close the liftgate manually, and then after 30 seconds, try to operate the power liftgate automatically again.

NOTE

Liftgate gas lifters

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.
