1. Completely close the driver’s door window, keeping the operating button pushed for at least five seconds after
the (upper) end of travel position.
2. Proceed in the same way on the passenger’s side door button and on the buttons of rear doors.
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 in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs open the front windows together to minimize the
buffeting.
SLIDING SIDE DOOR
On Cargo versions, the sliding side door is fitted with a
spring-loaded latch that stops the door from opening any
further. To lock it, simply push the door as far as it will go;
to unlock it, pull forward firmly.

The device is released and thus the doors can be opened as
follows:
If the power is restored:
•By remote control.
• Opening a front door by inserting the key into the key
pawl.
If the power is not restored:
• Opening the driver side door by key pawl and the other
doors (passenger’s side and sliding side door) pulling
the inner handle.
If the child lock was engaged and the previously described
locking procedure was carried out, operating the internal
handle will not open the door but will only realign the door
lock knob. To open the door, the outside handle must be
pulled. The door central locking/unlocking button is not
disabled by the engagement of the emergency lock.
DOUBLE REAR SWING DOORS
The rear double swing doors are fitted through a fastening
system which stops them when they reach an opening
angle of approximately 90 degrees. To open them wider to an angle of 180 degrees, push the
locking device (one on each side) and simultaneously open
the doors.
Using the key pawl on the door, you can do the following:
•
For Cargo versions with swing door/cargo doors: cen-
trally unlock the load compartment (sliding side doors +
rear swing doors/tailgate), centrally lock all the doors.
• For versions with swing door: local unlocking/locking.
Opening/Closing The First Swing Door From The
Outside
To open the door, turn the key in the lock or push the
CARGO UNLOCK button on the key fob and then pull the
exterior handle to the left. To close the door, turn the key in

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 25

NOTE:You must press and hold the brake pedal while
shifting out of PARK.
Key Ignition Park Interlock
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Interlock
which requires the transmission to be in PARK before the
ignition can be turned to the full LOCK/OFF (key removal)
position. The key can only be removed from the ignition
when the ignition is in the full LOCK/OFF mode, and once
removed the transmission is locked in PARK.
Brake Transmission Shift Interlock System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Transmission Shift
Interlock system (BTSI) that holds the transmission gear
selector in PARK unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the ignition must be turned to
the ON/RUN mode (engine running or not) and the brake
pedal must be pressed.
The brake pedal must also be pressed to shift from NEU-
TRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is
stopped or moving at low speeds.
Nine-Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission gear range (PRND) is displayed both
beside the gear selector and in the instrument cluster. To
select a gear range, press the lock button on the gear
selector and move the lever rearward or forward. You must
also press the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of
PARK, or to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE
when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds (refer
to Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock System in this
section). Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.
The electronically-controlled transmission provides a pre-
cise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are self-
calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle
may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and
precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles or
kilometers.
The nine-speed transmission has been developed to meet
the needs of current and future FWD/AWD vehicles.
Software and calibration is refined to optimize the custom-
er ’s driving experience and fuel economy. By design, some
vehicle and driveline combinations utilize 9th gear only in
very specific driving situations and conditions.
182 STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING!(Continued)
•Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure
those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you
should never exit a vehicle while the engine is
running. Before exiting a vehicle always apply the
parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK,
turn the engine OFF, and remove the ignition key.
Once the key is removed, the transmission is locked
in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted
movement.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the igni-
tion key from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the trans-
mission gear selector.
• Do not leave the ignition key in or near the vehicle
(or in a location accessible to children). A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Before moving the transmission gear selector out of
PARK, you must turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
mode, and also press the brake pedal. Otherwise,
damage to the gear selector could result.
• DO NOT race the engine when shifting from PARK
or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as this can
damage the drivetrain.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you
have engaged the transmission into the PARK position:
• When shifting into PARK, press the lock button on the
gear selector and firmly move the selector all the way
forward until it stops and is fully seated.
• Look at the transmission gear position display and
verify that it indicates the PARK position (P).
• With brake pedal released, verify that the gear selector
will not move out of PARK.
REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward. Shift into
REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete
stop.
