WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is
almost closed. To avoid personal injury, be sure to clear
your arms, hands, fingers, and objects from the win-
dow path before closing the window. Such entrapment
may result in serious injury.
Reset AUTO-Up
Should the AUTO-Up feature stop working, the window
probably needs to be reset. To reset AUTO-Up:
1. Pull the window switch up to close the window com-pletely and continue to hold the switch up for an
additional two seconds after the window is closed.
2. Push the window switch down firmly to the second detent to open the window completely and continue to
hold the switch down for an additional two seconds
after the window is fully open.
Window Lockout Switch
The window lockout switch on the driver’s door trim panel
allows you to disable the window control on the rear
passenger doors. To disable the window controls, push and
release the window lockout button (setting it in the down position). To enable the window controls, push and release
the window lockout button again (setting it in the up
position).
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception 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
can be 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
The liftgate can be unlocked or locked pushing the UN-
LOCK or LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry key
fob, the Keyless Enter-N-Go (Passive Entry) LOCK/
UNLOCK button underneath the left side of the accent bar,
which is located on the liftgate below the glass or by
activating the power door lock switch located on either
front door trim panel.
Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle” for further information on Keyless
Enter-N-Go (Passive Entry).
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. NOTE:
•
In the event of a power malfunction to the liftgate, an
emergency liftgate latch release 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.

area where the SABICs inflate. Children are at an even
greater risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete
ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in
certain rollover or side impact events.•The Air Bag Warning Light
does not come on
during the four to eight seconds when the ignition
switch is first in the ON/RUN position.
• The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to
eight-second interval.
• The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving.
Reference the “Air Bag Warning Light” topic in “Supple-
mental Restraint System (SRS)” for further information.
WARNING!
• Your vehicle is equipped with left and right Supple-
mental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs).
Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough
to block the deployment of the SABICs. The trim
covering above the side windows where the SABIC
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
and its deployment path are located should remain
free from any obstructions.
• Your vehicle is equipped with SABICs. In order for
the SABICs to work as intended, do not install any
accessory items in your vehicle which could alter the
roof. Do not add an aftermarket sunroof to your
vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require perma-
nent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on
the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof of the
vehicle for any reason.
The SABICs and SABs (Side Air Bags) are designed to
activate in certain side impacts and certain rollover events.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines
whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
side impact or rollover event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is
not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags should
have deployed.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the seat belt restraint
system. Side Air Bags deploy in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes.2

WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up even when
using the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstruc-
tions, or blind spots before backing up. You are re-
sponsible for the safety of your surroundings and must
continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
•To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView should only be
used as a parking aid. The ParkView camera is
unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive
path.
• To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven
slowly when using ParkView to be able to stop in
time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended
that the driver look frequently over his/her shoulder
when using ParkView.
NOTE: If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance builds
up on the camera lens, clean the lens, rinse with water, and
dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.
OVERHEAD CONSOLE
The overhead console contains courtesy/reading lights,
storage for sunglasses, an interior observation mirror and
an optional power sunroof switch.
Courtesy/Reading Lights
The overhead console has two courtesy lights. The lights
turn on when a front door, a rear door or the liftgate is
opened. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote Keyless
Entry the lights will also turn on when the UNLOCK
button on the key fob is pushed. The courtesy lights also
function as reading lights. Push in on each lens to turn
