I know the power hatch is not as much of a neccessity for most folks but it it is for me. Pleaase pardon my beating this subject into the ground.
I played with a 2008 S then I downloaded the User's manual and read the section on the liftgate but I'm not sure I understand how the liftgate operates.
If I have it right, it can be opened from the outside handle on the liftgate, from the button on the key fob and the button in the driver's door pocket. BUT it can only be closed from button on the hatch. Is this right? I expected to be able to close it from the key fob and the drivers door. I even tried the door switch with the ignition on but no luck.
Also, was the power liftgate an available option prior to 2008. I searched and it doesn't look like it but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks for the feedback. I also understand the logic. My GLK detects obstructions (via load current I think). Not what I was hoping to hear but it's good to know the real 411.

Not one to change the subject or anything but....I tried the power gate on a 2012 BMW X6 yesterday and there was virtually no motor noise whatsoever; unlike the elephant cry for help noise that ours emits....

Surely you jest....![Stick Out Tongue](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
When my GTS was in for service a few weeks ago, the '10 S loaner that I drove made the same whining noise; something similar to two elephants going at it in the jungle or better, the landing gear of a 747 in the process of deploying; both of which I must thankfully admit that I have not witnessed up close.
