To operate the PLG manually:

1. Disable the liftgate power function by placing the Power Door Lockout

Control in the OFF position.

2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate.

Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40° F (-40° C), or on an

extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.

Safety/Obstructions

If anything obstructs the PLG while it is power opening or closing, the

PLG will automatically reverse or stop depending on the position of the

liftgate, provided it meets sufficient resistance. If the PLG encounters an

obstacle while closing, the PLG will reverse to full open. Once the

obstacle is removed, the PLG can be again closed under power. If the

PLG encounters an obstacle while opening, the PLG will stop when it

encounters a solid obstacle. Close the liftgate manually and remove the

obstruction. Normal operation can then be resumed.

Resetting the PLG:

The power liftgate may not operate properly if any of the following

conditions occur

• a low voltage or dead battery

• disconnected battery

• the liftgate has been left open or unlatched for more than six (6)

hours

If any of these conditions occur, the PLG must be reset. To reset the

PLG:

1. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.

2. Power open the liftgate by using the keyfob or overhead console

button.

3. Once the liftgate is fully open, close the liftgate using the power

switch on the liftgate, keyfob or overhead console button.

Liftgate ajar signal

If the liftgate is not fully latched, you will receive a “LIFTGATE AJAR”

message on the instrument panel. If you see this message, check the

liftgate to ensure it is fully latched.

Make sure the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from

being drawn into the vehicle. If you must drive with the liftgate

open, keep the climate control vents open so that fresh outside air

circulates through the vehicle.
