Smart Unlocks for Integrated Keyhead Transmitter

This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.

When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle with the power door lock control, all the doors will lock then unlock if your key is still in the ignition.

You can still lock your vehicle with the key in the ignition using the keyless entry keypad with the driver door closed, or by pressing the lock button on the transmitter even if the doors are not closed.

If both front doors are closed, you can lock your vehicle by any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys (If Equipped)

This feature helps to prevent you from unintentionally locking your intelligent access key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or rear cargo area.

When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door lock control (with the door open, transmission in P and ignition off), after you close the door your vehicle will search for an intelligent access key in the passenger compartment. All the doors will immediately unlock and the horn will sound if the vehicle detects an intelligent access key inside.

In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the intelligent access key inside your vehicle, do one of the following:

• Lock your vehicle with the keyless entry keypad after all doors are closed.
• Press the lock button on another intelligent access key.

• Touch the locking area on the handle with another intelligent access key in your hand.

When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle using the power door lock control, all doors will lock then unlock if:

• the ignition is on, or
• the ignition is off and the transmission is not in P.

Autolock Feature (If Enabled)

The autolock feature will lock all the doors when:

• all the doors are closed,
• the ignition is on,
• you shift into any gear putting your vehicle in motion, and
• your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

The autolock feature repeats when:

• you open then close any door while the ignition is on and the vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower, and
• your vehicle then reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

Autounlock Feature (If Enabled)

The autounlock feature unlocks all the doors when:

• the ignition is on, all the doors are closed, and your vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h);
• your vehicle has then come to a stop and you switch the off ignition or to accessory; and
• you open the driver door within 10 minutes of switching the ignition off or to accessory.

Note: The doors will not autounlock if you electronically lock the vehicle after you switch the ignition off and before you open the driver door.

Enabling or Disabling

Note: You can enable or disable the autolock and autounlock features independently of each other.

You can enable or disable these features:

• through an authorized dealer
• using the information display.

Illuminated Entry

The interior lamps, parking lamps and puddle lamps illuminate when you use the integrated keyhead transmitter, intelligent access key or the keyless entry keypad to unlock the vehicle.

The system will turn off the lights if:

• you switch the ignition on
• you press the lock button on the remote control
• you lock your vehicle using the keyless entry keypad
• after 25 seconds of illumination.

The lights will not turn off if:

• you turn them on with the dimmer control
• any door is open.

LIFTGATE

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.

Manual Liftgate

WARNING: Make sure that the liftgate is closed to prevent exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the liftgate door open, keep the vehicle well ventilated so outside air comes into the vehicle.

Note: Be careful when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed area to avoid damaging the liftgate.

Note: Do not hang anything, for example a bike rack, from the spoiler, glass or liftgate. This could damage the liftgate and its components.

Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. This could damage the liftgate and its components.

The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers.

To open the liftgate: Press the button located in the top of the liftgate pull cup handle to unlatch the liftgate, then pull on the outside handle.

In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and released from the inside using the access panel on the liftgate trim.

Power Liftgate (If Equipped)

WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate area before using the power liftgate control.

WARNING: Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow children to play near an open or moving power liftgate.

Note: Cycling the ignition while the liftgate is power closing and is near the latch may cause the liftgate to reverse to full open position. Make sure that you close the liftgate before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in an enclosure like a garage or a parking structure. You could damage the liftgate or its components.

Note: Do not drive with the liftgate open without first disabling the power function and securing the liftgate to the vehicle.

Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.

You can enable or disable the power liftgate using the information display. The remote control and instrument panel button will still operate the liftgate regardless of the setting.

Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate

Note: You can reverse the liftgate movement direction with a second press of the instrument panel button, or the control button on the liftgate, or a second double press of the transmitter button.

The liftgate will only operate with the transmission in P.

A chime will sound three times as the liftgate begins to power close.

A single chime indicates a problem with the close request, caused by:

• the ignition is on and the transmission is not in P; or
• the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage; or
• the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).

If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast continuous chime indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut failure. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer if you still have a fast chime after you remove the load.

To open or close from the instrument panel: Press the instrument panel button.

To open or close with the remote control: Press the remote control button twice within three seconds.

To open with the outside liftgate control button:

1. Unlock the liftgate with the remote control or power door unlock control.

If the intelligent access transmitter is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, the liftgate will unlock when you press the liftgate release button.
2. Press the control button located in the top of the liftgate pull-cup handle.

Note: Allow the power system to open the liftgate after pressing the control. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the system’s obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation.

To close with the rear cargo area control: Press and release the button.

WARNING: Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear switch.

Setting Liftgate Open Height

1. Open the liftgate.
2. Manually move the liftgate to the desired height.
3. Press and hold the control button on the liftgate until a tone sounds, indicating the new height is set.

Note: You cannot set an open height if the liftgate position is too low.

The new open liftgate height will now be recalled when the power liftgate is opened. To change the programmed height, repeat the above procedure. Once you open the power liftgate you can manually move it to a different height.

When operating the power liftgate after a set height lower than full-open is set, you can fully open the liftgate by manually pushing it upward to the maximum open position.

Obstacle Detection

When closing: The system will reverse to full open when it detects an obstacle. A tone will sound three times as the liftgate begins to reopen.

Remove the obstacle to close the liftgate.

Note: Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause the vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, allow the power liftgate to fully close before entering the vehicle. Before driving off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator. Driving off without first checking for the liftgate or door ajar message or warning indicator could result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate open while you are driving.

When opening: The system will stop and a tone will sound three times when it detects an obstacle. Remove the obstacle to operate the liftgate.

Resetting the Power Liftgate

The liftgate may not operate properly and you may need to reset it if any of these conditions occur:

• A low voltage or dead battery
• A disconnected battery
• You manually close the liftgate and leave it ajar (unlatched)

To reset the power liftgate:

1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds then, reconnect the battery.
2. Manually close and fully latch the liftgate.
3. Power open the liftgate by using the transmitter or the instrument panel control button.
