  • Watch the liftgate and clear people and objects before any powered movement.
  • Inclines, wind, snow or battery condition can change operation.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If two beeps do not sound, raise the gate farther than halfway and repeat the hold.
  • ✓If movement stops, press a liftgate control again; the next movement is in the opposite direction.
