Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Stop the Durango, select Park and clear people, cargo, snow and ice from the complete liftgate path.
- 02
Press the key-fob liftgate button twice within five seconds, or press the overhead-console liftgate button.
- 03
Monitor the entire powered movement; press the control again only when a reversal is intended.
- 04
To close from the cargo area, press the button on the left rear trim panel.
- 05
After closing, lock the vehicle and pull lightly on the liftgate to verify it is latched.
Important limits
- Power switches do not operate while the vehicle is in gear or moving.
- Power operation is unavailable below -22°F (-30°C) or above 150°F (65°C).
- After repeated obstructions the system can stop and require manual operation; a liftgate opened while the vehicle was locked must be relocked after closing.
Quick checks.
- ✓Remove every obstruction and ice buildup before requesting another cycle.
- ✓If the liftgate was left open for a long time, close it manually to reset powered operation.
- ✓Use the emergency latch release only as described in the manual and obtain service if the fault repeats.
