Lock the inner gate to help prevent bumping the trailer hitch when opening the tailgate

Inner Tailgate Lockout is designed to help prevent damage from opening the Multi-Flex Tailgate when a trailer hitch is installed. You can activate or override the lockout using your center display. You can also override it with the exterior inner tailgate button.

Inner Tailgate Lockout override

Vehicles with this feature will have the inner gate of the tailgate locked out upon delivery. A notification in the center display will alert you that the inner gate is locked out.    

Here’s how to override the lockout, if desired:

Override using the center display

1. Go to Settings > Vehicle > Doors and Locks. 
2. Select Inner Tailgate Lockout.
3. Select Off to override the lockout and enable the inner gate to open.
4. Select On to lock the inner gate.

Override using the exterior button 

1. Locate the 2 buttons at the top of the tailgate. 
2. Press and hold the button on the right for a few seconds to override the inner tailgate lock.
3. The taillamps will flash slowly to confirm the override was successful. This indicates the inner gate will open normally. 
   a. You’ll also get a notification in your driver display reminding you to close the inner tailgate to avoid damage. 

Opening the tailgate

1. Locate the 2 buttons at the top of the tailgate. 
2. Press the button to the right to open the inner gate.
