Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note:The liftgate can be reversed with a second press on a control
button or transmitter and can be manually closed at any time.
The liftgate will only operate with your vehicle inP. The chime will beep
once if conditions are not correct to start an operation. These conditions
include:
•The ignition is in on and the transmission is not inP.
•The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
•The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after a open request, a fast
continuous chime indicates excessive load on the liftgate or a possible
strut failure. If any excessive load is removed and you still have a faster
chime, have the system serviced immediately by your authorized dealer.
Do not attempt to manually force the liftgate to travel faster than the
power system will permit. This will activate the obstacle detection
feature.
To open or close from the instrument panel:
Press the instrument panel button.
To open or close with the remote control:
Press the remote control button twice within three seconds.
To open with the outside liftgate
button (manual actuation):
1. Unlock the liftgate with the
remote entry transmitter or power
door unlock control.
2. Press the control button located
on the inside of the liftgate handle.
Note:Let the power system open the liftgate after releasing the control
button. Continued upward force after unlatching may activate the
obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation.
Note:If weight is added to the liftgate (bike rack, snow, etc.) it may
start a power close event immediately after a power open. If this
happens, a unique continuous chime will sound.

To close with the rear cargo area button:
WARNING:Keep clear of the liftgate when activating the rear
switch.
Note:The rear cargo area control button is disabled when the liftgate is
latched.
Press and release the control on the
left rear quarter panel. A chime will
beep once if conditions are not
correct to start an operation (i.e.,
the vehicle is out of park). In a
normal close, the chime will begin
just before the gate starts to move
and continue for a total of three
seconds.
To manually operate the liftgate:
Note:Manual operation is suggested on extreme inclines or in extreme
cold -40°F (-40°C).
Note:In the event of a power failure, the latch can be accessed and
released from the inside using the access panel on the liftgate trim.
1. Disable the liftgate power function in the information display. See the
Information Displayschapter.
2. Open and close the liftgate as you would a standard liftgate.
Obstacle Detection
Note:Entering your vehicle while the liftgate is closing can cause it to
bounce and activate obstacle detection. To prevent this, let the power
liftgate fully close before entering the vehicle.
The power liftgate system is equipped with an obstacle detection feature.
If the power liftgate is closing, the system is designed to reverse to full
open when it encounters a solid obstacle. A three second chime is also
sounded when an obstacle is detected. Once the obstacle is removed, the
liftgate can be closed under power.
If the power liftgate is opening, the system is designed to stop when it
encounters a solid obstacle. A chime will sound for three seconds while
the obstacle is present.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WARNING:Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in P (Park). Turn the ignition to the off
position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
WARNING:Do not use the Tow/Haul feature when driving in icy
or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause
the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the
possible loss of vehicle control.
Your vehicle is equipped with an Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy.
The Adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy offers the optimal transmission
operation and shift quality. When the engine is turned off, the shift data
which includes the adaptive information will be stored automatically in
the Powertrain Control Module. If the battery is disconnected for any
reason, the stored information from the last time the key was turned to
OFF will be read. This way, no information will be lost with any battery
removal or battery disconnect.
P (Park)
This position locks the transmission
and prevents the rear wheels from
turning.
To put your vehicle in gear:
•Press the brake pedal
•Start the engine
•Move the gearshift lever into the desired gear. If your vehicle is
equipped with a floor-shift transmission, press the gearshift lever
release button (on the front of the lever) while shifting into the
desired gear.
To put your vehicle in P (Park):
•Come to a complete stop
•Move the gearshift lever and securely latch it in P (Park)
R (Reverse)
With the gearshift lever in R (Reverse), the vehicle will move backward.
Always come to a complete stop before shifting into and out of R (Reverse).

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH
The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the electric
fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.
After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump
shut-off switch may have been activated.
The fuel pump shut-off switch is
located behind an access panel in the
left rear quarter trim panel, near the
liftgate.
The fuel pump shut-off switch has a
red reset button on top of it.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
power liftgate, the fuel pump shut-off
switch is left of the power liftgate
motor.
Use the following procedure to reset the fuel pump shut-off switch.
1. Turn the ignition to the off position.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If you cannot see a fuel leak, reset the fuel pump shut-off switch by
pushing the red reset button in.
4. Turn the ignition to the on position. Pause for a few seconds and
return the key to the off position.
5. Check again for fuel system leaks.
