Important limits

  • Leave enough clearance for the garage door, ceiling, roof accessories and people.
  • The last position set with either the liftgate switch or multi-information display takes priority.
  • Never use a body part to test jam protection.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If no four-beep confirmation occurs, reposition the liftgate and hold the switch for the full two seconds.
  • ✓If a different height returns, check the multi-information-display opening adjustment because the latest setting overrides earlier ones.
  • ✓After a 12-volt battery reconnection, manually close the liftgate once before judging power operation.
