WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the power Liftgate latch cinch release function becomes inoperative, it may be overridden by pushing downward on the manual cinch override lever (2).
- Remove the access cover from the center of the lower Liftgate trim panel.
- Reach around to the rearward face of the latch assembly to access and manually actuate the appropriate release lever for the current latch condition.
