The low tire pressure warning lightalerts to a significant loss inpressure of one of the vehicle'stires. If the warning light comes on,stop as soon as possible and inflatethe tires to the recommendedpressure shown on the Tire andLoading Information label. SeeVehicle Load Limits on page 914.The warning light will remain on untilthe tire pressure is corrected.The low tire pressure warning lightmay come on in cool weather whenthe vehicle is first started, and thenturn off as the vehicle is driven. Thismay be an early indicator that thetire pressures are getting low andthe tires need to be inflated to theproper pressure.

The TPMS does not replace normalmonthly tire maintenance. Maintainthe correct tire pressures.See Tire Pressure Monitor Systemon page 1047.

To open the liftgate, press the touchpad under the liftgate handle andlift up.Use the pull cup to lower and closethe liftgate. Do not press the touchpad while closing the liftgate. Thismay cause the liftgate to beunlatched.Always close the liftgate beforedriving.Power Liftgate

On vehicles with a power liftgate,the vehicle must be in P (Park) tooperate. The taillamps flash whenthe power liftgate moves.

{ WARNINGYou, or others, could be injured ifcaught in the path of the powerliftgate. Make sure there is no onein the way of the liftgate as it isopening and closing.

The power liftgate has three modesof operation. Mode selection iscontrolled by the interior modeswitch.

Choose the power liftgate mode byturning the dial on the switch untilthe indicator lines up with thedesired position. The vehicle mustbe in P (Park).The three modes are:MAX: The liftgate power opens tothe full open height.3/4: The liftgate power opens to areduced open height that can be setby the vehicle operator. Use thissetting to prevent the liftgate fromopening into overhead obstructionssuch as a garage door or roofmounted cargo during poweroperation. The liftgate can still befully opened manually.OFF: The liftgate only operatesmanually in this position.Manual operation of a liftgate thatalso has power operation requiresmore effort than a standard manualliftgate.



The liftgate can be opened manuallyby pressing the touch pad under theliftgate handle, with the doorsunlocked and lifting up.In either the MAX or the 3/4 mode,the liftgate can be power openedand closed by:. Pressing and holdingV on the

RKE transmitter until the liftgatestarts moving. See RemoteKeyless Entry (RKE) SystemOperation on page 23.

. Pressing the power liftgatebutton in the center of the modeswitch on the overhead console,with the driver door unlocked.

Press and release8 on theliftgate adjacent to the latch to closethe liftgate.Pressing any button, or the touchpad switch, while the liftgate ismoving stops it. Pressing the buttonor RKE transmitter again reversesthe direction. The touch pad switchwill stop the liftgate from moving.There is a minimum distance thatthe power liftgate must already beopen for the system to hold it open.If movement is stopped below thatminimum, the liftgate closes.

Do not force the liftgate open orclosed during a power cycle.The power liftgate may betemporarily disabled under extremetemperatures or low batteryconditions. If this occurs, the liftgatecan still be operated manually.If the vehicle is shifted out ofP (Park) while the power function isin progress, the liftgate powerfunction will continue to completion.If the vehicle is shifted out ofP (Park) and accelerated before thepower liftgate latch is closed, theliftgate may reverse to the openposition. Cargo could fall out of thevehicle. Always make sure thepower liftgate is closed and latchedbefore driving away.If the liftgate is power opened andthe liftgate support struts have lostpressure, the turn signals flash anda chime will sound. The liftgatestays open temporarily, and thenslowly closes. See a dealer forservice before using the liftgate.



Obstacle Detection Features

If the liftgate encounters an obstacleduring a power open or close cycle,a warning chime will sound and theliftgate will automatically reversedirection to the full closed or openposition. After removing theobstruction, the power liftgateoperation can be used again. If theliftgate encounters multipleobstacles on the same power cycle,the power function will deactivateand a message will display in theDriver Information Center (DIC), seeObject Detection System Messageson page 528. After removing theobstructions, the liftgate will resumenormal power operation.Pinch sensors are located on theside edges of the liftgate. If anobject is caught between the liftgateand the vehicle and presses againstthis sensor, the liftgate will reversedirection and open fully. The liftgatewill remain open until it is activatedagain or closed manually.

Power Liftgate 3/4 Mode

To program the liftgate openingheight:1. Turn the liftgate switch to either

the MAX, or the 3/4 modeposition and power open theliftgate.

3. Press and hold the button on theliftgate adjacent to the latch untilthe turn signals flash and a beepsounds to indicate that the newsetting is recorded.

When power opened with the 3/4mode selected, the liftgate stops atthe new set position.If there is no audible and visualfeedback when setting theintermediate stop position, theliftgate height is being set below the3/4 open height minimum(approximately 1.5 m or 5 ft). The

liftgate cannot be set below thatminimum and the new setting willnot be recorded.Manual Operation of PowerLiftgate

To change the liftgate to manualoperation, turn the mode switch tothe OFF position.With the power liftgate disabled andall of the doors unlocked, the liftgatecan be manually opened andclosed. Manual operation of aliftgate that also has poweroperation requires more effort thana standard manual liftgate.To open the liftgate, press the touchpad on the handle on the outside ofthe liftgate, and lift the gate open. Toclose the liftgate, use the pull cup tolower the liftgate and close. With thepower liftgate disabled, the liftgateelectric latch will still power latchonce contact is made with thestriker. Always close the liftgatebefore driving.



IfV on the RKE transmitter ispressed while power operation isdisabled, the turn signals flash andthe liftgate will not move.The liftgate has an electric latch.If the battery is disconnected or haslow voltage, the liftgate will notopen. The liftgate will resumeoperation when the battery isreconnected and charged.
