Section 15 (Power Liftgate (Service Information)): Warning

There is a small area located on each side of the liftgate from about the belt line down to the sill which is not protected by the power liftgate system pinch sensors. Extreme caution must be taken to prevent body extremities or other objects from entering this area once the liftgate reaches the secondary latch contact position, which is about 13 millimeters (1/2 inch) before the liftgate is fully closed. Failure to observe this warning may result in serious or fatal injury.

Never attempt to enter, exit or reach through the liftgate opening with the power liftgate in motion. You could cause damage to the power liftgate system or components, and serious or fatal injuries may result.
