Section 2 Features and Controls

Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during a
power open or close cycle, a warning chime will
sound and the liftgate will automatically reverse
direction to the full closed or open position.
After removing the obstruction, the liftgate may be
power opened or closed normally. If the liftgate
encounters multiple obstacles on the same power
cycle, the power function will deactivate, and
the liftgate will switch to manual operation. The
REAR ACCESS OPEN warning message in
the Driver Information Center (DIC) will indicate
that the liftgate is open. After removing the
obstructions, manually open the liftgate to the full
open position or close the liftgate to the fully
closed and latched position. The liftgate will now
resume normal power operation.
Your vehicle has pinch sensors located on the
side edges of the liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the vehicle body and
presses against this sensor, the liftgate will reverse
direction and open fully. The liftgate will remain
open until it is activated again or closed manually.
Manual Operation of Power Liftgate
To change the liftgate to
manual operation,
toggle the switch on the
overhead console to
the “Disable” position
indicated by a circle.
With the power liftgate disabled and the door
unlocked, the power liftgate can be manually
opened and closed.
To open the liftgate, press the touchpad on the
handle on the outside of the liftgate, and lift
the gate open. To close the liftgate, use the pull
cup or pull strap to lower the liftgate and close.
The liftgate latch will power cinch to closed
position. Always close the liftgate before driving.
If the RKE button or the power close button on the
liftgate is pressed while power operation is
disabled, the lights will ash three times, but the
liftgate will not move.

Power Running Boards
Your vehicle may have power running boards.
These make getting into and out of the vehicle
easier.
The power running boards activate when either
door on the driver’s or passenger’s side is opened
or closed. They automatically extend from
beneath the vehicle on the side in which the door
has been opened. Once the door is closed, the
running boards will automatically move back under
the vehicle. The vehicle must be stationary for
the running boards to extend or retract.The switch used to
disable the power
running boards is
located on the center
console below the
climate control system.
The running boards cannot be disabled in the
extended position.

The switch used to adjust the pedals is located on
the center console below the climate control
system.
Press the right and left arrows to move the pedals
either closer or further from your body.
Your vehicle has a memory function which allows
seat settings to be saved and recalled. See
Memory Seat, Mirrors, and Pedals on page 13for
more information.
Engine Coolant Heater
Your vehicle may have an engine coolant heater.
In very cold weather, 0°F (−18°C) or colder,
the engine coolant heater can help. You will get
easier starting and better fuel economy during
engine warm-up.
Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a
minimum of four hours prior to starting your
vehicle. At temperatures above 32°F (0°C), use of
the coolant heater is not required. Your vehicle
may also have an internal thermostat in the
plug end of the cord. This will prevent operation of
the engine coolant heater when the temperature
is at or above 0°F (−18°C) as noted on the cord.
