Liftgate (Manual)
{WARNING
Exhaust gases can enter the
vehicle if it is driven with the
liftgate, trunk/hatch open,
or with any objects that pass
through the seal between the
body and the trunk/hatch or
liftgate. Engine exhaust contains
Carbon Monoxide (CO) which
cannot be seen or smelled. It can
cause unconsciousness and even
death.(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
If the vehicle must be driven with
the liftgate, or trunk/hatch open:
.Close all of the windows.
.Fully open the air outlets
on or under the instrument
panel.
.Adjust the Climate Control
system to a setting that
brings in only outside air
and set the fan speed to the
highest setting. See Climate
Control System in the Index.
.If the vehicle is equipped with
a power liftgate, disable the
power liftgate function.
For more information about
carbon monoxide, see Engine
Exhaust on page 9‑24. Notice:
If you open the liftgate
without checking for overhead
obstructions such as a garage
door, you could damage the
liftgate or the liftgate glass.
Always check to make sure
the area above and behind the
liftgate is clear before opening it.
For vehicles without keyless access,
unlock the vehicle before opening
the liftgate.
Press the touchpad located in the
handle of the liftgate, above the
license plate, and lift up to open.
Do not press the touchpad while
closing the liftgate. This will cause
the liftgate to be unlatched.
Always close the liftgate before
driving.

The taillamps flash when the
power liftgate moves.
{WARNING
You or others could be injured if
caught in the path of the power
liftgate. Make sure there is no one
in the way of the liftgate as it is
opening and closing.
Notice: If you open the liftgate
without checking for overhead
obstructions such as a garage
door, you could damage the
liftgate or the liftgate glass.
Always check to make sure
the area above and behind the
liftgate is clear before opening it. Choose the power liftgate mode
by turning the dial on the switch
until the indicator lines up with
the desired position.
The three modes are:
MAX :
The liftgate opens to the full
open height.
3/4 : The liftgate opens to a
reduced open height that can be set
by the vehicle operator in a range
of approximately 3/4 open to full
open. Use this setting to prevent the
liftgate from opening into overhead
obstructions such as a garage door
or roof mounted cargo during power
operation. The liftgate can still be
opened fully manually.
OFF: The liftgate only operates
manually in this position.
Manual operation of a liftgate that
also has power operation requires
more effort than with a standard
manual liftgate. In either the MAX or the 3/4 mode,
the liftgate can be power opened
and closed by:
.Pressing&on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
until the liftgate starts moving.
See Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑4.
.Pressing&on the center of
the mode switch on the driver
door, with the driver door
unlocked.
.Pressing the touchpad switch on
the liftgate outside handle, with
all doors unlocked, to open the
liftgate.

Keys, Doors and Windows 2-21
The system has one or more
keyless entry transmitters that are
matched to an immobilizer control
unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly
matched keyless entry transmitter
will start the vehicle. If the keyless
entry transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start your
vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and
the security light stays on there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change
ignition modes (ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, OFF), and the
keyless entry transmitter appears to
be undamaged, try another keyless
entry transmitter. Or, you may
try placing the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket located in the
center console. See“No Remote
Detected” underKey and Lock
Messages on page 5‑36. If the ignition modes will not
change with the other transmitter,
your vehicle needs service. If the
ignition does change modes, the
first transmitter may be faulty.
See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have
a new keyless entry transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
keyless entry transmitters. Up to
eight keyless entry transmitters
can be programmed for the vehicle.
To program additional transmitters,
see
“Programming Transmitters
to the Vehicle” Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑4.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{WARNING
A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.

Power Windows
{WARNING
Leaving children in a vehicle with
the keyless access transmitter is
dangerous for many reasons,
children or others could be badly
injured or even killed. They could
operate the power windows or
other controls or even make the
vehicle move. The windows will
function with the keyless access
transmitter in the vehicle and they
could be seriously injured or killed
if caught in the path of a closing
window. Do not leave the keyless
access transmitter in a vehicle
with children.
When there are children in the
rear seat use the window lockout
button to prevent unintentional
operation of the windows.
Driver Side Shown
The power window controls are on
each of the side doors.
The driver door also has switches
that control the passenger and rear
windows. The power windows:
.Can be operated with the
ignition in ACC/ACCESSORY
or ON/RUN/START.
.Can be operated within
10 minutes of switching the
ignition off. See
Retained
Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 9‑22.
.Will stop operation when any
door is opened.
Operate the switch for the desired
window by pressing to open and
pulling to close.
Pushing or pulling the switch part

if available. These manually stored
positions are referred to as Button

outside mirrors, and adjustable
pedals, if available, move to the
positions stored to those buttons
when pressed. Releasing “1”or“2”
before the stored positions are
reached stops the recall.
If something has blocked the
driver seat and/or the adjustable
pedals, if available, while recalling
a memory position, the recall may
stop. Remove the obstruction; then
press and hold the appropriate
manual control for the memory item
that is not recalling for two seconds.
Try recalling the memory position
again by pressing the appropriate
memory button. If the memory
position is still not recalling, see
your dealer for service.

Recalling RKE Memory Positions
(Memory Remote Recall)
The Memory Remote Recall feature
can recall the driver seat, outside
mirrors, and adjustable pedals,
if available, to previously stored
RKE Memory positions when
entering the vehicle.
Every time the ignition is
placed in OFF, the positions
of the driver seat, outside mirrors,
and adjustable pedals, if available,
are automatically stored to the RKE
transmitter that was used to start
the vehicle. These positions are
called RKE Memory positions and
may be different than the previously
mentioned Button Memory positions
saved to the“1”or“2” buttons. To automatically recall RKE
Memory positions, unlock the driver
door with the RKE transmitter, and
open the driver door. On vehicles
with Keyless Access, opening the
driver door when an RKE transmitter
is present will activate the RKE
Memory recall. If the driver door
is already open, pressing the
RKE transmitter
Kbutton will also
activate the RKE Memory recall.
The driver seat, outside mirrors,
and pedals, if available, will move to
the previously saved RKE Memory
positions.
This feature is turned on or off using
the vehicle personalization menu.
See “Memory Remote Recall”
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑40 for more information. To stop recall movement, press
one of the memory, power mirror,
or power seat controls, or the
adjustable pedal switch, if available.
If something has blocked the
driver seat and/or the adjustable
pedals, if available, while recalling
a memory position, the recall
may stop. Remove the obstruction;
then press and hold the appropriate
manual control for the memory item
that is not recalling for two seconds.
Try recalling the memory position
again by opening the driver door
and pressing the RKE transmitter
K
button. If the memory position is
still not recalling, see your dealer
for service.
