I assume you are referring to a rear door and not the liftgate. Check the available locking settings in the owner's manual, I think you'll find a setting that my accomplish your goal.
I would imagine it's a safety feature...My bad. I meant the liftgate. When the Murano is in drive gear, I can't open the liftgate.
That's typical for new cars, and an obvious safety measure. My own conclusion was that it's more trouble to mess with it than it's worth. All I need to do to use it is to stop for a moment and trigger the lift gate to rise.My bad. I meant the liftgate. When the Murano is in drive gear, I can't open the liftgate.
