Liftgate handle

 Power Liftgate

*

The power liftgate opens/closes 

electrically by operating the switches in 

the vehicle or the buttons on the keyless 

entry system transmitter.

Refer to Transmitter on page 

3-4.

WARNING

Be sure to watch the power liftgate as it 

opens or closes, and make sure that it 

closes completely:

Opening or closing the power 

liftgate while not watching it move 

is dangerous. Because of unseen 

obstacles and the jam-safe feature, a 

liftgate may not close completely and, 

if left unnoticed, could result in serious 

injury or death if an occupant were to 

fall out of the vehicle.

Always be sure that the area around 

the liftgate is clear before activating it.

Always confirm the safety of the area 

around the power liftgate before 

operating it electrically.

Not checking the area around the 

liftgate for people before operating 

it using the power liftgate switch 

or the button on the keyless entry 

system is dangerous. A person could 

become caught between the liftgate 

and an obstruction while it is opening 

electrically or between the liftgate and 

vehicle while it is closing electrically, 

resulting in an accident and serious 

injury.
