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 press the key-fob liftgate button or the button on the hatch to stop it at the desired height.
- 02
Check that the selected position leaves safe overhead and head clearance.
- 03
Press and hold the button on the liftgate edge until the rear lights blink and a tone confirms the setting.
- 04
To restore maximum height, push the liftgate upward and repeat the button-hold confirmation.
Important limits
- Verify overhead clearance before opening the liftgate.
- The stored angle is equipment-dependent and does not apply to a manual hatch.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the position is not retained, repeat the hold until both the light flash and tone occur.
- ✓If the hatch will not move higher, check for an obstruction before resetting maximum height.
