Power Liftgate: Notes
DESCRIPTION
Never attempt to operate the power liftgate system when the link rod is removed or disconnected. Damage to the power liftgate system will result.
Always disconnect the negative battery cable before attempting any power liftgate system service.
There is a small area located on each side of the liftgate from about the belt line down to the sill which is not protected by the power liftgate system pinch sensors. Extreme caution must be taken to prevent body extremities or other objects from entering this area once the liftgate reaches the secondary latch contact position, which is about 13 millimeters (1/2 inch) before the liftgate is fully closed. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious or fatal injury.
Never attempt to enter, exit or reach through the liftgate opening with the power liftgate in motion. You could cause damage to the power liftgate system or components, and serious or fatal injuries may result.
Never stick objects in the power liftgate when cinching closed. You could damage the power liftgate system or individual components and possibly cause personal injury.
