When the RKE transmitter button is
pressed and the Flash Lights feature
is enabled, the tail lights will flash and
several audible beeps will occur to
signal that the liftgate is opening or
closing.WARNING!
During power operation, personal
injury or cargo damage may occur.
Ensure the liftgate travel path is
clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed
and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is closing or
opening, the liftgate will auto-
matically reverse to the closed or open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
There are also pinch sensors at- tached to the side of the liftgate
opening. Light pressure any-
where along these strips will
cause the liftgate to return to the
open position.
During power operation, whether liftgate is fully open or
fully closed, the liftgate chime
will beep several times indicat-
ing power operation is in prog-
ress.
The power liftgate must be in the full open or close positions for
any of the buttons to operate. If
the liftgate is not in the full open
or close positions, it must be
opened or closed manually.
If the liftgate release button is activated while the power lift-
gate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
The power liftgate buttons will not operate if the shift lever is in
gear or the vehicle speed is
above 0 km/h. The power liftgate will not oper-
ate in temperatures below 24°C
or temperatures above 62°C. Be
sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate be-
fore pressing any of the power
liftgate buttons.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions within the
same cycle, the system will auto-
matically stop and must be
opened or closed manually.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open canallow poisonous exhaust gases
into your vehicle. You and your
passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate
closed when you are operating the
vehicle.
If you are required to drive with
the liftgate open, make sure that
all windows are closed, and the
climate control blower switch is
set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.

A new engine may consume some oil
during its first few thousand kilome-
ters of operation. This should be con-
sidered a normal part of the break-in
and not interpreted as an indication of
difficulty.
Additional Requirements
For Diesel Engine (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy
loads, e.g. driving at full throttle. Do
not exceed 2/3 of the maximum per-
missible engine speed for each gear.
Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to
brake.
SAFETY TIPS
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSEN-
GERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
WARNING!
Do not leave children or animalsinside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in
a cargo area, inside or outside of a
vehicle. In a collision, people rid-
ing 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 seat
belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is
in a seat and using a seat belt
properly.
Exhaust GasWARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
They contain carbon monoxide
(CO), which is colorless and odor-
less. Breathing it can make you un-
conscious and can eventually poison
you. To avoid breathing (CO), fol-
low these safety tips: (Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
Do not run the engine in a closed
garage or in confined areas any
longer than needed to move your
vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with
the trunk/liftgate open, make sure
that all windows are closed and
the climate control BLOWER
switch is set at high speed. DO
NOT use the recirculation mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked
vehicle with the engine running,
adjust your heating or cooling
controls to force outside air into
the vehicle. Set the blower at high
speed.
The best protection against carbon
monoxide entry into the vehicle body
is a properly maintained engine ex-
haust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the
sound of the exhaust system, when
exhaust fumes can be detected inside
the vehicle, or when the underside or
rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a
competent mechanic inspect the com-
plete exhaust system and adjacent

POWER LUMBAR (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Vehicles equipped with power driver
or passenger seats may be also be
equipped with power lumbar. The
power lumbar switch is located on the
outboard side of the power seat. Push
the switch forward to increase the
lumbar support. Push the switch rear-
ward to decrease the lumbar support.
HEATED SEATS (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
On some models, the front and rear
seats may be equipped with heaters in
both the seat cushions and seatbacks.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of ad-
vanced age, chronic illness, diabe-
tes, spinal cord injury, medica-
tion, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must ex-
ercise care when using the seat
heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat
that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat.
Sitting in a seat that has been
overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
Front Heated Seats
There are two heated seat switches
that allow the driver and passenger to
operate the seats independently. The
controls for each heater are located on
the switch bank below the climate
controls.
You can choose from HIGH, LOW or
OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each switch indicate the level
of heat in use. Two indicator lights
will illuminate for HIGH, one for
LOW and none for OFF.
Press the switch once to se-
lect HIGH-level heating.
Press the switch a second
time to select LOW-level
heating. Press the switch a third time
to shut the heating elements OFF.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within two to five min-
utes.
When the HIGH-level setting is se-
lected, the heater will provide a
boosted heat level during the initial
stages of operation. Then, the heat
output will drop to the normal HIGH-
level. If the HIGH-level setting is se-
lected, the system will automatically
switch to LOW-level after a maximum
of 60 minutes of continuous opera-
tion. At that time, the number of illu-
minated LEDs changes from two to
one, indicating the change. The LOW-
level setting will turn OFF automati-
cally after a maximum of 45 minutes.
