Power Close:
The power liftgate automatically moves from the
fully open position to the secondary position.
When the liftgate reaches the secondary posi-
tion, the cinching motor engages and pulls the
liftgate to its primary latch position. Power close
takes approximately7–10seconds. The power
close feature can be activated by the switch on
the keyfob, the instrument panel and the liftgate
opener switch
A. The hazard lights flash and a
chime sounds to indicate the power close se-
quence has been started.
● If the liftgate opener switch
Ais activated
while the cinching motor is engaged, the
cinching motor will disengage and release
the latch.
● The keyfob button must be held for 0.5 sec-
ond before the liftgate closes.
● The switch on the liftgate can only be used
to close the liftgate if the power liftgate main
switch is in the ON position.
Reverse:
The power liftgate will reverse direction immedi-
ately during power open or power close if the
keyfob, instrument panel or liftgate switch is
pushed or if the liftgate opener switch
Ais
pushed. A chime will sound to announce the
reversal. Auto Reverse:
If an obstacle is detected during power open or
power close, a warning chime will sound and the
liftgate will reverse direction and return to the full
open or full close position. If a second obstacle is
detected, the liftgate motion will stop and the
liftgate will enter manual mode.
A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the
liftgate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip
during power close, the liftgate will reverse direc-
tion and return to the full open position.
NOTE:
If the pinch strip is damaged or removed,
the power close function will not operate.
WARNING

ately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., inside
the vehicle before closing the liftgate.

low, the screen may not clearly display ob-
jects. This is not a malfunction.
● When strong light is directly coming on the
camera, objects may not be displayed
clearly. This is not a malfunction.

WARNING
●The air conditioner cooling function op-
erates only when the engine is running.
●
Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the assistance of others
alone in your vehicle. Pets should also not
be left alone. They could accidentally in-
jure themselves or others through inad-
vertent operation of the vehicle. Also, on
hot, sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal
injuries to people or animals.
● Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the interior
air to become stale and the windows to
fog up.
NOTE: ● Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
● When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
