A power liftgate may seem like a luxury, but if you have ever tried to access your vehicle's cargo area with full hands, you understand that it is a useful and practical feature. How does such a component work? It has a motor that automatically controls the door when you activate it. Some units rely on a sensor under the rear bumper that you can trigger with your foot. 2021 Jeep Cherokee models, on the other hand, have a dedicated button on the key fob. The device also has a proximity detector, so you can only use it to open the liftgate if you are near the back of your vehicle. This prevents accidental unlocking.Â
The 2021 Cherokee also has a system that detects resistance and does not continue closing when someone is in the path of the door. Additionally, if the fob is not working, you can open the trunk by hand or use the interior switch.Â
