Keyless Access Operation
Some vehicles have the keyless
access system that lets you lock
and unlock the doors and access
the liftgate without removing the
remote transmitter from your pocket,
purse, briefcase, etc. The keyless
entry transmitter must be within 1 m
(3 ft) of the door being opened.
If the vehicle has this feature, there
will be a body colored touch pad on
the outside front door handles.
Keyless Unlocking
With the transmitter within 1 m (3 ft),
approach the front door and pull the
handle. If the transmitter is
recognized, the door will unlock
and open.
Entering any door other than the
driver door will always cause all of
the doors to unlock. This is not
customizable.To customize which doors unlock
when the driver
’s door is opened,
see “Passive Unlock” underVehicle
Personalization on page 5‑40.
Keyless Locking
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this feature allows
you to select whether the doors
automatically lock during normal
vehicle exit. When the vehicle is
turned off and all doors become
closed, the vehicle will determine
how many keyless access
transmitters remain in the vehicle
interior. If at least one keyless
access transmitter has been
removed from the interior of the
vehicle, the doors will lock after
eight seconds.
If there are two keyless access
transmitters in the vehicle and one
is removed, the other will be locked
in. A person approaching the outside of the locked vehicle without
an authorized keyless access
transmitter will not be able to open
the door, even with the transmitter in
the vehicle.
You may temporarily disable the
keyless locking feature by pressing
and holding the power door unlock
button on the instrument panel for
several seconds with a door open.
Keyless locking will then remain
disabled until the door lock switch is
pressed, or until the vehicle is
turned on.
To customize whether the doors
automatically lock when you exit the
vehicle, see
“Passive Locking”
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑40.

be overcome by extreme heat
and can suffer permanent
injuries or even death from
heat stroke. Always lock the
vehicle whenever leaving it.(Continued)

Power Liftgate
On vehicles with a power liftgate,
the switch is on the driver door. The
vehicle must be in P (Park) to use
the power feature. 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.
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
height that can be set by the vehicle
operator in a range of approximately
three‐quarters 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
manually opened all the way. 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:
.Pressing8on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
until the liftgate starts moving.

Immobilizer
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on
page 13‑21 for information
regarding Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
rules and Industry Canada
Standards RSS-GEN/210/220/310.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the vehicle is
turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the pushbutton start
is activated to enter the ACC/
ACCESSORY mode or the ON/
RUN/START mode and a valid
transmitter is present in the vehicle.
The security light, located in the
instrument panel cluster, comes on
if there is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
The system has one or more
RKE transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in your
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
RKE transmitter will start the
vehicle. If the 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
RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the transmitter pocket
located in the center console. See
“NO REMOTE DETECTED”
under
Key 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 RKE transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.

.In ignition OFF during all window
up movements and during
express-up window movements
in ignition ON/RUN/START. If there is something blocking the
window during automatic closing,
the window will reverse direction for
a short distance. Weather conditions
such as extreme cold and/or
ice may cause the window to
auto-reverse. The window will return

from closing and the window
continues to auto-reverse, it is
possible to close the window with
the ignition in ON/RUN/START by
