Power Tailgate Operating Condition
- The tailgate will not power open when vehicle is moving above 3 mph (5 km/h) or the gearshift lever is not in P (Park).
- The power tailgate only will open with the transmitter when doors are central locked and armed.
- If the power tailgate detects an obstacle, it would either stop or move to the full open position to allow the object to be cleared.
- The PTG system is an electronic device and requires a minimum battery voltage to operate. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) monitors the battery voltage at the ECU input terminal and will not permit operation if the battery voltage is out of range.
- If the PTG button is pressed during closing operation, the power tailgate may reverse direction and open fully.
- Remove the accumulated snow or ice on the power tailgate before operating.NOTE:
- To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the power tailgate at open position for a long time.
- The PTGM will go to a sleep mode and power operation will be disabled if the tailgate is left open longer than 6 hours.
Manually close the tailgate to the latched position to reset the PTGM. Power operation will be restored.
WARNING:- Always disconnect the negative battery cable before attempting any power tailgate system service.
- Never attempt to enter or exit the vehicle with the tailgate in motion. You could be injured or cause damage to the power tailgate system and/or components.
