Opening the power liftgate (if equipped)
Press the control twice to fully
unlatch and open the liftgate.
Make sure all persons are clear of the liftgate area before using
power liftgate control.
In order to fully lower and latch the liftgate, press the control twice.
If the liftgate stops mid travel, it may have detected an obstacle, Check
to ensure the liftgate swing zone is free from obstruction and reset the
power assist by manually closing the liftgate. Normal operation can then
be resumed.
Make sure 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 open,
keep the vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.
Sounding a panic alarm
Press this control to activate the alarm.
The personal panic alarm will cycle the horn and parking lamps on/off.

The system is not effective at speeds greater than 10 km/h (6 mph) and
may not detect certain angular or moving objects.
The system detects obstacles up to
a maximum range of six meters (20
ft.) behind the rear bumper with a
decreased coverage area at the
outer corners of the bumper, (refer
to the figures for approximate zone
coverage areas). As you move closer
to the obstacle, the rate of the tone
increases. When the distance to the
obstacle is less than 45.0 cm (18
in.), the tone will sound
continuously. If the system detects
an object that is approaching the
vehicle at such as rate that rapid
braking is required, a very high rate
tone will sound. If this tone is heard
while reversing, the driver is advised
to slow down immediately until the
tone either changes to a slower rate
or stops.
While receiving a warning the radio
volume will be reduced to a predetermined level. After the warning goes
away, the radio will return to the previous volume. The radio volume may
be overridden using the radio volume control.
The extended rear park assist is automatically enabled when the gear
selector is placed in R (Reverse) and the ignition is ON. A park assist
control in the message center allows the driver to disable the extended
rear park aid only when the ignition is ON, and the gear selector is in R
(Reverse).
Always keep the sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free
from snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt (do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects). These elements may cause the
system to operate inaccurately.
If the vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.

For maximum vehicle performance, keep the following information in
mind when adding accessories or equipment to your vehicle:
• When adding accessories, equipment, passengers and luggage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the total weight capacity of the vehicle or of
the front or rear axle (GVWR or GAWR as indicated on the Safety
Compliance Certification label). Consult your dealer for specific weight
information.
• The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulate the use of mobile
communications systems — such as two-way radios, telephones and
theft alarms - that are equipped with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle should comply with FCC or CRTC
regulations and should be installed only by a qualified service
technician.
• Mobile communications systems may harm the operation of your
vehicle, particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive
use.
