Nissan Rogue Owners Manual: Liftgate release

Nissan Rogue Owners Manual / Pre-driving checks and adjustments / Liftgate / Liftgate release

WARNING

Always be sure the liftgate has been closed securely to prevent it from opening while driving.
Do not drive with the liftgate open. This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to be drawn into the vehicle. For additional information, refer to “Exhaust gas (carbon monoxide)” in the “Starting and driving” section of this manual.

CAUTION

If the power liftgate does not stay open or if the liftgate unexpectedly closes at any time while a continuous warning chime sounds, do not operate the liftgate.
There may be a pressure loss in one or both of the liftgate gas stays.

Have the liftgate inspected by a NISSAN dealer.
Do not activate the power liftgate if one or both of the liftgate gas stays are removed. Damage to the liftgate or power liftgate mechanisms may occur.

Liftgate release (manual and power)

The liftgate release mechanism allows the liftgate to be opened in the event of a discharged battery.

To release the liftgate from the inside of the vehicle, perform the following operations:

Fold the rear seats down. For additional information, refer to “Folding 3rd row bench (if so equipped)” in the “Safety—seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system” section of this manual.
Insert a suitable tool in the access opening.
Move the release lever to the right. The liftgate will be unlatched.
Push the liftgate up to open.

NOTE: If you had to open the liftgate using this lever, have your vehicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.
