Manual Liftgate

For vehicles without keyless access, unlock the vehicle before opening the liftgate.

Press the touch pad located in the handle of the liftgate, above the license plate, and lift up to open.

Do not press the touch pad while closing the liftgate. This will cause the liftgate to be unlatched.

Always close the liftgate before driving.
