NOTE:
• If the window runs into any obstacle during
auto-closure, it will reverse direction and
then go back down. Remove the obstacle
and use the window switch again to close
the window.
• Any impact due to rough road conditions
may trigger the auto-reverse function unex-
pectedly during auto-closure. If this hap-
pens, pull the switch lightly and hold to
close the window manually.

the window lockout button again (the indica-
tor light on the button will turn back off).
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the per-
ception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your ve-
hicle 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 mini-
mized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and rear win-
dows together to minimize the buffeting. If

buffeting or open any window.
POWER SUNROOF — IF
EQUIPPED
The power sunroof switch is located between
the sun visors on the overhead console.
WARNING!
• Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or
near the vehicle, or in a location acces-
sible to children. Do not leave the igni-
tion of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. Occupants, particularly unat-
tended children, can become entrapped
by the power sunroof while operating the
power sunroof switch. Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of
being thrown from a vehicle with an
open sunroof. You could also be seri-
ously injured or killed. Always fasten
your seat belt properly and make sure all
passengers are also properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate
the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object, to proj-
ect through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.

Power Liftgate — If Equipped
The power liftgate may be
opened by pushing the electronic
liftgate release (refer to “Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry” located in
“Getting To Know Your Vehicle” in your Own-
er’s Manual for further information), or bypushing the liftgate button on the key fob.
Push the liftgate button on the key fob twice

The power liftgate may also be opened or
closed by pushing the liftgate button located
on the front overhead console. If the liftgate
is fully open, the liftgate can be closed by
pushing the liftgate button located on the left
rear trim panel, near the liftgate opening. If
the liftgate is in motion, pushing the liftgate
button located on the left rear trim panel will
reverse the liftgate.
When the liftgate button on the key fob is
pushed two times, the turn signals will flash
to signal that the liftgate is opening or closing
(if Flash Lamps with Lock is enabled in the
Uconnect settings), and the liftgate chime
will be audible. Refer to "Uconnect Settings"
in "Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual for
further information.NOTE:
• In the event of a power malfunction to the
liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch release
can be used to open the liftgate. The emer-
gency liftgate latch release can be ac-
cessed 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.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the lift-
gate travel path is clear. Make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched before driv-
ing away.

allel to the rack frame. Once the crossbar is in
the desired position, retighten the with the
wrench to lock the crossbar into position.
NOTE:
• To help control wind noise when the cross-
bars are not in use, place the front and rear
crossbars approximately 24 inches (61 cm)
apart. Optimal noise reduction can then be
achieved by adjusting the front crossbar
forward or aft using increments of 1 inch
(2.5 cm).
• If any cargo (or any metallic object) is
placed over the satellite radio antenna (if
equipped), you may experience interrup-
tion of satellite radio reception. For im-
proved satellite radio reception, avoid plac-
ing the rear crossbar over the satellite radio
antenna.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured
loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at
WARNING!
high speeds, resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
CAUTION!
• To prevent damage to the roof of your
vehicle, do not carry any loads on the
roof rack without the crossbars installed.
The load should be secured and placed
on top of the crossbars, not directly on
the roof. If it is necessary to place the
load on the roof, place a blanket or some
other protection between the load and
the roof surface.
• To avoid damage to the roof rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
roof rack load capacity of 150 lb (68 kg).
Always distribute heavy loads as evenly
as possible and secure the load
appropriately.
CAUTION!
• Long loads which extend over the wind-
shield, such as wood panels or surf-
boards, or loads with large frontal area
should be secured to both the front and
rear of the vehicle.
• Place a blanket or other protection be-
tween the surface of the roof and the
load.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying large or
heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind
forces, due to natural causes or nearby
truck traffic, can add sudden upward lift
to a load. This is especially true on large
flat loads and may result in damage to
the cargo or your vehicle.
• The use of Sport Mode is not recom-
mended when using the Roof Luggage
Rack to carry a load.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in
the instrument panel together with a dedi-
cated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative
and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative
to the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read care-
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa-
tion in this chapter in the event of a failure
indication. All active telltales will display first
if applicable. The system check menu may
appear different based upon equipment op-
tions and current vehicle status. Some tell-
tales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
— Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to indicate a
fault with the air bag, and will turn on for four
to eight seconds as a bulb check when the
ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position. This light will illuminate with a
single chime when a fault with the air bag has
been detected, it will stay on until the fault is
cleared. If the light is either not on during
startup, stays on, or turns on while driving,
have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
— Brake Warning Light
This warning light monitors various brake
functions, including brake fluid level and
parking brake application. If the brake light
turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is
low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system.
If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master cylinder
reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hy-draulic system malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been detected by
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condi-
tion has been corrected. If the problem is
related to the brake booster, the ABS pump
will run when applying the brake, and a brake
pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in
either half of the dual brake system is indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci-
fied level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid
level conditions. The vehicle should have
service performed, and the brake fluid level
checked.
