Wind BuffetingWind buffeting can be described as the percep-
tion of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type
sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind
buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof
(if equipped) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and canbe minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear windows open, then open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting.
LIFTGATE
To open the liftgate, pull up on the handle and
lift. Manually unlocking the vehicle doors with
the plunger or a key in the lock cylinder will not
unlock the liftgate.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow poi-
sonous 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.
Liftgate Flipper GlassThe liftgate flipper glass is also unlocked when
the liftgate is unlocked. To open the flipper
glass, push up on the window switch located on
the liftgate.
NOTE:
The liftgate flipper glass will not open if the
liftgate is ajar.

Once the liftgate flipper glass has been opened,
connection to the rear window wiper is inter-
rupted, preventing activation of the rear wiper
blade while the flipper glass is open.
NOTE:
If a malfunction to the liftgate latch should
occur, an emergency liftgate latch release
can be used to open the liftgate. The emer-
gency liftgate latch release can be accessed
through a snap-in cover located on the lift-
gate trim panel.
WARNING!
Driving with the flipper glass open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the flipper glass closed
when you are operating the vehicle.
Power Liftgate — If Equipped
The power liftgate may be opened
by pulling up on the liftgate handle
or by pressing the LIFTGATE but-
ton on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. Press the LIFT-
GATE button on the RKE transmit-
ter twice within five seconds, to open the power
liftgate. Once the liftgate is open, pressing the
button twice within five seconds a second time
will close the liftgate.
The power liftgate may also be opened or
closed by pressing the LIFTGATE button lo-
cated on the front overhead console, or closed
by pressing the LIFTGATE button located on left rear trim, near the liftgate opening. Pressing the
LIFTGATE button located on left rear trim once
will close the liftgate only, this button cannot be
used to open the liftgate.
To operate the power liftgate manually in the
open direction, pull the liftgate handle once to
initiate a power cycle and then pull the handle a
second time to put liftgate into manual mode.
When the LIFTGATE button on the RKE transmitter
is pressed two times, the turn signals will flash
twice to signal that the liftgate is opening or closing
(if Flash Lamps with Lock is enabled in the EVIC)
and the liftgate chime will be audible. For further
information, refer to
"Customer-Programmable
Features (System Setup)/Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) "in "Understanding Your In-
strument Panel".
NOTE:
• In the event of a power malfunction to the
liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch re-
lease can be used to open the liftgate. The
emergency liftgate latch release can be
accessed through a snap-in cover located
on the liftgate trim panel.

•If liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate
functionality.
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:
• The power liftgate buttons will not oper-
ate if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below 22°F (30°C) or tem-
peratures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from
the liftgate before pressing any of the
power liftgate switches. •
If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets suffi-
cient resistance.
• There are also pinch sensors attached to
the side of the liftgate. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause
the liftgate to return to the open position.
• The power liftgate must be in the full open
position for rear liftgate close button on
the left rear trim, near the liftgate opening
to operate. If the liftgate is not fully open,
press the Liftgate button on the Key Fob
to fully open the liftgate, and then press it
again to close.
• If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
•
If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is opening, the liftgate motor
will disengage to allow manual operation.
•If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop and the lift-
gate must be opened or closed manually.
• If your liftgate is power closing and you
put the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will
continue to power close. However, ve-
hicle movement may result in a detection
of an obstruction.
WARNING!
•Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your ve-
hicle. 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.

Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemental
Driver Side Knee Air Bag are designed to
provide additional protection by supplementing
the seat belts in certain frontal collisions de-
pending on several factors, including the sever-
ity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air
Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of
injury in rear, or side collisions.
The Advanced Front Air Bags and Supplemen-
tal Driver Side Knee Air Bag will not deploy in all
frontal collisions, including some that may pro-
duce substantial vehicle damage — for ex-
ample, some pole collisions, truck underrides,
and angle offset collisions. On the other hand,
depending on the type and location of impact,
Advanced Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes
with little vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
The side air bags will not deploy in all side
collisions. Side air bag deployment will depend
on the severity and type of collision.
Because air bag sensors measure vehicle decel-
eration over time, vehicle speed and damage bythemselves are not good indicators of whether or
not an air bag should have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in
all collisions, and also are needed to help keep
you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
The ORC monitors the readiness of the elec-
tronic parts of the air bag system whenever the
ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN
position. If the key is in the LOCK position, in the
ACC position, or not in the ignition, the air bag
system is not on and the air bags will not inflate.
The ORC contains a backup power supply
system that may deploy the air bags even if the
battery loses power or it becomes disconnected
prior to deployment.
Also, the ORC turns on the Air Bag
Warning Light in the instrument
panel for approximately four to
eight seconds for a self-check
when the ignition is first turned to
the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the
Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the ORC
detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning Light, either
momentarily or continuously. A single chime will
sound if the light comes on again after initial
startup.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate
the instrument cluster Air Bag Warning Light if a
malfunction is noted that could affect the air bag
system. The diagnostics also record the nature
of the malfunction.
WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in your
instrument panel could mean you won’t have
the air bags to protect you in a collision. If the
light does not come on as a bulb check when
the ignition is first turned on, stays on after
you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you
drive, have an authorized dealer service the
air bag system immediately.

A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to
inflate the side curtain air bag. The inflating side
curtain air bag pushes the outside edge of the
headliner out of the way and covers the window.
The air bag inflates in about 30 milliseconds
(about one-quarter of the time that it takes to
blink your eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where the side
curtain air bag inflates. This especially applies
to children. The side curtain air bag is only
about 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when it is inflated.
Because air bag sensors estimate deceleration
over time, vehicle speed and damage are not
good indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
NOTE:
In a rollover the pretensioners, and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags may deploy on both
sides of the vehicle.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sensors can
aid the ORC in determining appropriate re-
sponse to impact events.Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air bag
deployment, if the communication network re-
mains intact, and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event the ORC
will determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the follow-
ing functions:
•
Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as
long as the battery has power or until the
ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Re-
sponse System functions after an event, the
ignition switch must be changed from IGN ON to
IGN OFF. If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to
deflate immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
In a rollover the pretensioners and/or SAB
and SABIC - if equipped air bags may deploy
on both sides of the vehicle.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air
bags, any or all of the following may occur:
•
The nylon air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
driver and front passenger as the air bags
deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar
to friction rope burns or those you might get
sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with chemi-
cals. They are not permanent and normally
heal quickly. However, if you haven’t healed
significantly within a few days, or if you have
any blistering, see your doctor immediately.

To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment,
can read the information if they have access to
the vehicle or the EDR.Child RestraintsEveryone in your vehicle needs to be buckled
up all the time, including babies and children.

Children 12 years or under should ride properly
buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According
to crash statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seats rather than
in the front.
There are different sizes and types of restraints
for children from newborn size to the child
almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
Always check the child seat Owner’s Manual to
ensure you have the right seat for your child.
Use the restraint that is correct for your child.
WARNING!
In a collision, an unrestrained child can be-
come a projectile inside the vehicle. The
force required to hold even an infant on your
lap can become so great that you could not
hold the child, no matter how strong you are.
The child and others could be badly injured.
Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a
proper restraint for the child’s size.
