Liftgate

Opening and Closing the Liftgate WARNING

Remote Control

Three warning tones sound as the liftgate begins to power close. If there is a problem with the open or close request, one of the following may occur: • A tone sounds if the ignition is on and the transmission is not in park (P). • A tone sounds if the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage. • A tone sounds if the liftgate is not fully closed and your vehicle is moving at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h). If the liftgate starts to close after it has fully opened, this indicates there may be excessive weight on the liftgate or a possible strut failure. A repetitive tone sounds and the liftgate closes under control. Remove any excessive weight from the liftgate. If the liftgate continues to close after opening, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Note: Be careful when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area to avoid damaging the liftgate. Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. This could damage the liftgate and its components. From the Instrument Panel
