Falling Liftgate Detection

If the power liftgate automatically closes after a power opening cycle, it indicates that the system is reacting to excess weight on the liftgate or a possible support strut failure. A repetitive chime will sound while the falling liftgate detection feature is operating. Remove any excess weight. If the liftgate continues to automatically close after opening, see your dealer for service before using the power liftgate. Interfering with the power liftgate motion or manually closing the liftgate too quickly after the power the opening may resemble a support strut failure. This could also activate the falling liftgate detection feature. Allow the liftgate to complete its operation and wait a few seconds before manually closing the liftgate.

Obstacle Detection Features

If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during a power open or close cycle, the liftgate will automatically reverse direction and move a short distance away from the obstacle. After removing the obstruction, the power liftgate operation can be used again. If the liftgate encounters multiple obstacles on the same power cycle, the power function will deactivate. After removing the obstructions, manually close the liftgate. This will allow normal power operation functions to resume. If the vehicle is locked while the liftgate is closing, and an obstacle is encountered that prevents the liftgate from completely closing, the horn will sound as an alert that the liftgate did not close. Pinch sensors are on the side edges of the liftgate. If an object is caught between the liftgate and the vehicle and presses against a sensor, the liftgate will reverse direction and stop at a partially open position. A liftgate will remain open until it is activated again or closed manually.

Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position of the liftgate stops when opening:

1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power open the liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at the desired height by pressing any liftgate button. Manually adjust the liftgate position if needed.
3. Press and hold the bottom edge of the liftgate next to the latch on the outside of the liftgate until the turn signals flash and a beep sound. 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 liftgate.

Caution
Attempting to move the liftgate too quickly and with excessive force may result in damage to the vehicle.

Operate the liftgate manually with a smooth motion and moderate speed. The system includes a feature that limits the manual closing speed to protect the components. To open the liftgate, press K on the power door lock switch or press K on the RKE transmitter twice to unlock all doors. Press the touchpad (1) on the underside of the liftgate handle and lift up. Press button (2) above the license plate to open the lift glass, or press twice quickly on the RKE transmitter. Do not leave the lift glass open when raising the liftgate. There will be a delay in the release of the lift glass if there is an attempt to open it while the rear wiper is in motion. Use the pull cup to lower and close the liftgate. Do not press the touchpad while closing the liftgate. This will cause the liftgate to be unlatched. The liftgate can be opened when locked if the RKE transmitter is within 1 m (3 ft) of the touchpad. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 8. The liftgate has an electric latch. If the battery is disconnected or has low voltage, the liftgate will not open. The liftgate will resume operation when the battery is reconnected and charged.

Hands-Free Operation
If equipped, the liftgate may be operated with a kicking motion near the center of the rear bumper at the location of the projected logo. The RKE transmitter must be within 1 m (3 ft) of the rear bumper to operate the power liftgate hands-free. The hands-free feature will not work while the liftgate is moving. To stop the liftgate while in motion use one of the liftgate switches. The hands-free feature can be customized. See Vehicle Personalization 0 136. Choose from the following:

On-Open and Close: The kicking motion is activated to both open and close the liftgate.
On-Open Only: The kicking motion is activated to only open the liftgate.
Off: The feature is disabled.

To operate, move your foot in a forward kicking motion near the center of the rear bumper at the location of the projected logo, then pull it back. The kick must come within 14 cm (6 in) of the rear bumper to activate. Then step back.

Caution
Splashing water may cause the liftgate to open. Keep the RKE transmitter away from the rear bumper detection area or turn the liftgate mode to OFF when cleaning
or working near the rear bumper to
avoid accidental opening.

• Do not sweep your foot side to side.
• Do not keep your foot under the bumper; the liftgate will not activate.
• Do not touch the liftgate until it has stopped moving.

This feature may be temporarily disabled under some conditions. If the liftgate does not respond to the kick, open or close the liftgate by another method or start the vehicle. The feature will be re-enabled. When closing the liftgate using this feature, there will be a short delay. The taillamps will flash and a chime will sound. Step away from the liftgate before it starts moving.

Projected Logo
If equipped with this feature, a vehicle the logo will be projected for one minute onto the ground near the rear bumper when an RKE transmitter is detected within approximately 2 m (6 ft) from the rear bumper. The projected logo may not be visible under brighter daytime conditions.

• 1 m (3 ft) Hands-Free Operation Detection Zone
• 2 m (6 ft) Projected Logo Detection Zone

The projected logo shows where to kick toward the rear bumper. The projected logo will not be restarted using the same RKE transmitter unless it has been out of range for longer than 20 seconds. If an RKE transmitter is again detected within approximately 2 m (6 ft) of the liftgate, or another kick has been detected, the one-minute timer will be reset.

The projected logo will not work under these conditions:

• The vehicle battery is low.
• The transmission is not in P (Park).
• Hands-Free Liftgate Control is set to off in vehicle personalization. See Vehicle Personalization 0 136.
• A power liftgate is turned off.
• The vehicle remains parked for 72 hours or more, with no RKE transmitter use or Keyless Access operation. To re-enable, press any button on the RKE transmitter or open and close a vehicle door.

The projected logo will not work for a single RKE transmitter when a transmitter:

• Has been left within approximately 5 m (15 ft) of the liftgate for several minutes.
• Has been left inside the vehicle and all vehicle doors are closed.
• Has approached the area outside of the liftgate five times within 10 minutes.
