Important limits

  • Choose a height that will not contact a garage door, ceiling, roof accessory or person.
  • The most recently stored position, whether set by the liftgate switch or multi-information display, takes priority.
  • Do not force the power back door while its motor is operating.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If four beeps do not sound, stop the door again and hold the lower switch for the full two seconds.
  • ✓If the door still uses the old position, check the multi-information-display setting because the last setting wins.
  • ✓After reconnecting the 12-volt battery, close the back door manually once to re-enable proper power operation.
