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, select Park and clear the complete liftgate path.
- 02
Press the key-fob liftgate button twice within five seconds to open, or use the electronic exterior release.
- 03
Wait until the liftgate is fully open before loading or unloading.
- 04
Press the fob button twice again within five seconds, or use the cargo-area close button, to close.
- 05
After powered movement ends, lock the vehicle and verify the liftgate is fully latched.
Important limits
- Keep people and cargo out of the liftgate path and do not drive with it open.
- The exterior release's unlock behavior follows the Uconnect first-press door setting.
- Opening only the liftgate from a locked vehicle does not eliminate the need to lock it again after closing.
Quick checks.
- ✓Remove snow, ice or cargo pressing against the latch before retrying.
- ✓Use the exterior electronic release or cargo-area switch to isolate a weak fob battery.
- ✓If powered movement repeatedly stops or reverses with a clear path, close it manually as directed and obtain service.
