Remote Start System On the vehicles that are equipped
with this system, the key fob RKE
transmitter enables to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The
system has a range of approximately
300 ft (91 m). Obstructions between
the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate
from a normal distance, check for
these conditions:
• A weak battery in the RKE
transmitter. The expected life of the
battery is a minimum of three years.
• Closeness to a radio transmitter such
as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radio.
• Obstructions between the vehicle
and the Key Fob. How to use Remote Start All of the following conditions must
be met before the engine will remote
start:
• System not disabled from previous

raining on the “Passive Entry” door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower
response time.
• Access to the vehicle using “Passive
Entry” system may not work properly
in case of interference caused by
external sources such as metal
objects, mobile phones, overhead
power lines, antennas, etc. In these
cases, use the buttons of the key fob
RKE transmitter to open and close
the vehicle or the emergency key,
inserting it into the driver side door
lock.

and the sunroof (if equipped) can
however be dangerous, even with the
anti-pinch prevention system. Before
and during activation of the power
window, always check that the
passengers are not exposed to the risk
of injury both by the moving window
and by personal objects that could be
dragged or hit by it. Do not leave
unattended children in a vehicle with
a key fob RKE transmitter inside.
When getting out the vehicle, always

See “Passive Entry System” in this
section for more information on
power liftgate operation with the
“Passive Entry” feature. Automatic Opening and
Closing Movement of the
Power Liftgate Automatic opening and closing

equipped with the kick sensor option.
In this latter case, the power liftgate
will be opened and closed only if the
“Passive Entry” system acknowledges
the presence of the key fob RKE

section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
When power liftgate edge reaches the
car body, the motor locking the latch is
activated automatically.
If necessary, the power liftgate can
also be opened or closed manually
using the handles indicated in the
picture. This operation could be
required when the liftgate remains
open for a long period of time. NOTE:
Frequent activations of the anti-pinch
protection function may disable the
automatic movement of the power
liftgate. To reactivate this function,
perform a reset cycle by carrying out a
complete opening/closing sequence,
after manually closing the power
liftgate.
WARNING!
• Activate power liftgate only when
vehicle is at a standstill.
• Always pay utmost attention when
opening and closing the tailgate. If
for any reason the protection system
might fail to respond, it could cause
injury to anyone within the
operating area.
• After the closing command, always
make sure that power liftgate is
completely closed.
CAUTION!
• Under extreme weather conditions,
liftgate seal could freeze and
compromise power liftgate
automatic opening and closing. • Before opening power liftgate, make
sure that no objects or snow are set
on liftgate or might jam or prevent
its opening.
Hands Free Power Liftgate Release

controlled by the “Passive
Entry” system (see paragraph “Passive
Entry System” in this section), which
automatically releases and closes the
power liftgate when you place your
foot in the area under the rear
bumper.
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob RKE transmitter within 3.3
ft (1 m) of the power liftgate.
The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along
and underneath the central portion of
the rear bumper.
To activate the power liftgate, stand
behind the vehicle, near the liftgate,
and move your foot under the bumper
as if to kick something. Do not place
your foot too close to the bumper or
touch the underbody.
