Power Tailgate Operating Condition

  1. 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) for automatic transaxle.
  2. The power tailgate will not open with the transmitter or the main control button when all power sliding doors are locked and closed.
  3. The power tailgate will detect the resistance, then stop movement or move to the full open position to allow the object to be cleared.
  4. If the automatic stop and reversal feature operates continuously more than twice during one opening or closing operation, the power tailgate may stop at that position. At this time, close the tailgate manually and operate the tailgate automatically again.
  5. The PTG system is an electronic device and requires a minimum battery voltage to operate. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) monitors the battery voltage present at the ECU input battery input and will not permit operation if the battery voltage is out of range.
  6. If the PTG button is pressed during closing operation, the power tailgate may reverse direction and open fully.
  7. 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 sliding door and 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 tail gate is left open longer than 6 hours.

    Manually close the tail gate 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.
