DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Open/Close Power Liftgate
Press the LIFTGATE button for one second and release. The liftgate will open/close. If the button is pushed while the liftgate is being power closed, the liftgate will reverse to the full position. If the liftgate is locked and is not equipped with a powered liftgate, pressing the button will result in the liftgate becoming unlocked for 30 seconds allowing you to manually access the liftgate area.
