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
Open the power liftgate and interrupt its movement at the desired position, keeping it at least halfway open.
- 02
Check that the chosen height clears the garage ceiling and remains comfortable to reach.
- 03
Press and hold the button in the liftgate itself.
- 04
Release after the emergency flashers flash once and the vehicle sounds an audible confirmation.
- 05
Close and reopen the liftgate to verify that it stops at the saved angle.
Important limits
- The saved position must be at least half open.
- Keep people and objects clear of the liftgate while setting and testing the height.
- A saved limit reduces opening height; it does not guarantee clearance in every location.
Quick checks.
- ✓If no confirmation occurs, move the lid above the halfway point and hold the lid-mounted button again.
- ✓If the next opening ignores the limit, repeat the procedure and wait for both the flash and audible alert.
- ✓If movement stops unexpectedly, remove any obstruction before retrying.
