Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of
Passive Entry RKE Transmitter In
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unin-
tentionally locking a Passive Entry
RKE transmitter inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture which will function if there is no
Key Fob present in the ignition.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and
the door panel switch is used to lock
the vehicle, once all open doors have
been closed the vehicle checks the in-
side and outside of the vehicle for any
valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters.
If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry
RKE transmitters is detected inside
the vehicle, and no other valid Passive
Entry RKE transmitters are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry
System automatically unlocks all ve-
hicle doors and chirps the horn three
times (on the third attempt ALL
doors will lock and the Passive Entry
RKE transmitter can be locked in the
vehicle). To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors
The front door handles have LOCK
buttons located on the outside of the
handles.
With one of the vehicle’s Passive En-
try RKE transmitters within 1.5 m of
the driver or passenger front door
handle, press the door handle LOCK
button to lock all four doors.
NOTE:
After pressing the door handle
LOCK button, you must wait two
seconds before you can lock or
unlock the doors, using either
Passive Entry door handle. This
is done to allow you to check if
the vehicle is locked by pulling
the door handle, without the ve-
hicle reacting and unlocking.
Outside Door Handle Lock Button
24
To keep your door operating properly,
observe the following guidelines:
Always open the door smoothly.
Avoid high impacts against thedoor stop when opening the door.
This is very important when your
vehicle is parked on an incline as
the door will slide faster in the
downhill direction.
There is a hold-open latch that is activated when the sliding door is
fully opened. This latch will keep
your sliding door open on any in-
cline. To close the sliding door after
the hold-open latch is activated,
you must rock the inside handle
forward or pull outward on the ex-
terior handle.
Always make sure that the sliding
door is fully latched anytime the ve-
hicle is in motion.
NOTE: The left side sliding door
cannot be opened while the fuel
door is open. This feature operates
only when the sliding door is fully
closed prior to opening the fuel
door. POWER SLIDING SIDE
DOOR (for versions/
markets, where provided)
The power sliding door may
be opened or closed manu-
ally or by using the buttons
on the RKE transmitter,
overhead console switch, or rear door
switch. Pulling the inside or outside
power sliding door handle will also
power open or close the power sliding
door.
NOTE: Pulling the outside power
sliding door handle a second time
while the sliding door is power
opening or power closing will al-
low the sliding door to be opened
or closed manually.
Press the button on the RKE trans-
mitter twice within five seconds to
open a power sliding door. When the
door is fully open, pressing the button
twice within five seconds a second
time will close the door.
There are power sliding side door
switches located on the b-pillar trim panel, just in front of the power slid-
ing door for the rear seat passengers
and in the overhead console for the
driver and passengers. Pressing the
switch once will open the power slid-
ing door. If the switch is pressed while
the door is under a power cycle, the
door will reverse direction.
NOTE: The power sliding side
door must be unlocked before the
power sliding door switches will
operate.
If the inside or outside door handles
are used while the power sliding side
door is activated, the power sliding
door feature will be canceled and will
go into manual mode.

NOTE:
If anything obstructs the powerliftgate 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
progress.
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.
OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions
Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
Supplemental Active Head Re- straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)
33
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the front seats and the second row
outboard seats, the shoulder belt an-
chorage can be adjusted upward or
downward to help position the belt
away from your neck. The upper an-
chorage can be adjusted upward by
pushing anywhere on the anchorage.
To move the anchorage downward,
squeeze the actuation buttons while
simultaneously pushing down on the
anchorage assembly.As a guide, if you are shorter than
average you will prefer a lower posi-
tion, and if you are taller than average
you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the anchorage, try
to move it up or down to make sure
that it is locked in position.
SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with Auto-
matic Locking Retractors (ALR)which are used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Installing Child Re-
straints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section.
The chart below defines the type of
feature for each seating position.
