GMC Terrain: Doors / Manual Liftgate
To unlock the liftgate, press
on
the power door lock switch or press
on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter twice within
five seconds. See Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation.

To open the liftgate, press the touch
pad on the bottom of the liftgate and
lift up.
Use the pull cup to lower and close
the liftgate. Do not press the touch
pad while closing the liftgate. This
may cause the liftgate to be
unlatched.
If equipped with Keyless Access,
the liftgate can be opened when
locked if the RKE transmitter is
within 1 m (3 ft) of the touch pad.
See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation.
The liftgate has an electric latch.
If the battery is disconnected or has
low voltage, the liftgate will not
open. The liftgate will resume
operation when the battery is
reconnected and charged.
Always close the liftgate before
driving.
Warning
Exhaust gases can enter the
vehicle if it is driven with the
liftgate or trunk/hatch open,
or with any objects that pass
through the seal between the
body and the trunk/hatch or
liftgate...
Warning
You or others could be injured if
caught in the path of the power
liftgate. Make sure there is no one
in the way of the liftgate as it is
opening and closing...

injured. Never leave children
alone in the vehicle.

Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
Braking Skid — wheels are not
rolling.
Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering in a
curve causes tires to slip and
lose cornering force...
