WINDOWS
Power Windows
The window controls on the driver's door trim panel
control all of the door windows.
(fig. 103)
There are single window controls on each passenger
door trim panel, which operate the passenger door
windows. The window controls will operate when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN or ACC position.NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the Uconnect®,
the power window switches will remain active for up to
10 minutes after the ignition is cycled to the LOCK/
OFF position. Opening either front door will cancel
this feature. The time is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle” for
further information.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle .

Do not leave the key fob in or
near the vehicle or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC
or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly un-
attended children, can become entrapped by the
windows while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.

LIFTGATE
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked with the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ (Passive Entry) or by activating the
power door lock switch located on either front door
trim panel.
For further information on Keyless Enter-N-Go™
(Passive Entry), refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in
“Starting And Driving”.
NOTE:The liftgate cannot be unlocked or locked with
the manual door lock plungers on the door trim panels
or the door lock cylinder on the driver's door.
To open the unlocked liftgate, squeeze the handle and
pull the liftgate toward you. Gas props will raise and
support the liftgate in the open position.
(fig. 105)
NOTE: Because the gas pressure drops with tempera-
ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when
opening the liftgate in cold weather.
WARNING!
• Driving with the liftgate open can al-
low poison

ous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. These fumes could injure you and your
passengers. 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 blower switch on the climate control is set at
high speed. Do not use the recirculation mode.

WARNING!
• Riding the brakes can lead to brake
failure an

d possibly a collision. Driving
with your foot resting or riding on the brake
pedal can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and possible
brake damage.You would not have your full brak-
ing capacity in an emergency.
• Driving a vehicle with the “Brake Warning
Light” on is dangerous. A significant decrease in
braking performance or vehicle stability during
brakingmayoccur.Itwilltakeyoulongertostop
the vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to
control. You could have a collision. Have the ve-
hicle checked immediately. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle con-
trol under adverse braking conditions. The system
controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel
lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces
during braking. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)” under “Knowing Your Vehicle/Electronic Brake
Control System” for further information.
WARNING!
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physi cs

from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive speed in
turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro-
planing. The capabilities of an ABS-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner, which could jeopardize the
user's safety or the safety of others.

Uconnect® System. The available choices are: Off,
Sound Only, or Sound and Display. Refer to
“Uconnect® Settings” for further information.
When the Park Assist soft-key is pressed to disable the
system, the EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST SYS-
TEM OFF” message for approximately five seconds.
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC)” for further information. When the shift lever is
moved to REVERSE and the system is disabled, the
EVIC will display the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF”
message for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE at or
below 11 km/h. SERVICE THE REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
During vehicle start up, when the Rear Park Assist
system has detected a fault condition, the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will actuate a single
chime, once per ignition cycle, and it will display the
“CLEAN PARK ASSIST”, “SERVICE PARK ASSIST” or
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM” message. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” for
further information. When the shift lever is moved to
REVERSE and the system has detected a fault condi-
tion, the EVIC will display the “CLEAN PARK ASSIST”,
“SERVICE PARK ASSIST” or “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” message for as long as the vehicle is in
REVERSE. Under this condition, Park Assist will not
operate.

If “CLEAN PARK ASSIST” appears in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) make sure the
outer surface and the underside of the rear fascia/
bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or
other obstruction and then cycle the ignition. If the
message continues to appear see an authorized dealer.
If “SERVICE PARK ASSIST” or “SERVICE PARK ASSIST
SYSTEM” appears in the EVIC, see your authorized
dealer.
CLEANING THE PARK ASSIST SYSTEM
Clean the sensors with water, car wash soap and a soft
cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch
or poke the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
PARK ASSIST SYSTEM USAGE PRECAUTIONS
NOTE:
• Ensure that the rear bumper is free of snow, ice,mud, dirt and debris to keep the Park Assist system
operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations could affect the performance of Park Assist. • When you turn Park Assist off, the EVIC will display
“PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF.” Furthermore, once
you turn Park Assist off, it remains off until you turn
it on again, even if you cycle the ignition key.
• When you move the shift lever to the REVERSE position and Park Assist is turned off, the EVIC will
display the “PARK ASSIST SYSTEM OFF” message
for as long as the vehicle is in REVERSE.
• Clean the Park Assist sensors regularly, taking care not to scratch or damage them. The sensors must
not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or
debris. Failure to do so can result in the system not
working properly. The Park Assist system might not
detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper.
• Ensure that the Park Assist system is turned OFF if objects such as bicycle carriers, trailer hitches, etc.,
are placed within 30 cm from the rear fascia/bumper
while driving the vehicle. Failure to do so can result in
the system misinterpreting a close object as a sensor
problem, causing the “SERVICE PARK ASSIST” mes-
sage to be displayed in the EVIC.
