the reverse direction. Pressing the touch pad
on the tailgate handle will restart the
motion, but only in the opening direction.
Caution
Manually forcing the tailgate to open or
close during a power cycle can damage
the vehicle. Allow the power cycle to
complete.
The power tailgate may be temporarily
disabled under extreme low temperatures,
or after repeated power cycling over a short
period of time. If this occurs, the tailgate
can still be operated manually.
If the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park) while
the power function is in progress, the
tailgate will continue to completion. If the
vehicle is accelerated before the tailgate has
completed moving, the tailgate may stop or
reverse direction. Check for Driver
Information Centre (DIC) messages and make
sure the tailgate is closed and latched
before driving.
Falling Tailgate Detection
If the power tailgate automatically closes
after a power opening cycle, it indicates that
the system is reacting to excess weight on
the tailgate or a possible support strut
failure. A repetitive chime will sound while
the falling tailgate detection feature is
operating. Remove any excess weight. If the
tailgate continues to automatically close
after opening, see your dealer for service
before using the power tailgate.
Interfering with the power tailgate motion
or manually closing the tailgate too quickly
after power opening may resemble a
support strut failure. This could also activate
the falling tailgate detection feature. Allow
the tailgate to complete its operation and
wait a few seconds before manually closing
the tailgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the tailgate encounters an obstacle during
a power open or close cycle, the tailgate will
automatically reverse direction and move a
short distance away from the obstacle. After
removing the obstruction, the power tailgate
operation can be used again. If the tailgate
encounters multiple obstacles on the same
power cycle, the power function will
deactivate. After removing the obstructions,
manually close the tailgate. This will allow
normal power operation functions to
resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the tailgate is
closing, and an obstacle is encountered that
prevents the tailgate from completely
closing, the horn will sound as an alert that
the tailgate did not close.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the tailgate stops at
when opening:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power
open the tailgate.
2. Stop the tailgate movement at the
desired height by pressing any tailgate
button. Manually adjust the liftgate
position if needed.
3. Press and hold
l
next to the pull cup
handle on the bottom of the tailgate
until the indicators flash and a beep
sounds. This indicates the setting has
been recorded.
The liftgate cannot be set below a minimum
programmable height. If there is no light
flash or sound, then the height adjustment
may be too low.
Manual Operation
Select OFF to manually operate the tailgate.
