Power Trunk / Liftgate Hazard Sensor: Description and Operation

REAR HATCH/GATE AJAR INDICATOR DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

GATE AJAR INDICATOR
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) illuminates the GATE AJAR indicator when the liftgate module (LGM) detects that the liftgate or liftglass is ajar or open. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the LGM requesting illumination. If the vehicle is in the forward or reverse gear position, the LGM activates an audible warning.

REAR ACCESS OPEN MESSAGE
The REAR ACCESS OPEN message will be displayed on the driver information center (DIC) whenever the liftgate or liftglass is open while the ignition is in the RUN position.
