Hands-Free Sliding Doors — If Equipped
Hands-Free Sliding Doors
To open the Hands-Free Sliding Doors, use a
straight in and out kicking motion under the
vehicle in the general location below the door handle(s). Do not move your foot sideways or in
a sweeping motion or the sensors may not
detect the motion.
When a valid kicking motion is completed, the
sliding door will chime, the hazard lights will
flash and the sliding door will open almost
instantaneously. This assumes all options are
enabled in the radio settings.
NOTE:
To open the Hands-Free Sliding Doors
requires a valid Passive Entry key fob within
5 ft (1.5 m) of the door handle. If a valid
Passive Entry key fob is not within 5 ft
(1.5 m), the door will not respond to any
kicks.
The Hands-Free Sliding Door will only operate
when the transmission is in PARK.
With every movement of the Hands-Free
Sliding Doors, an audible tone will sound and
the turn signals will flash. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa
-
tion on turning these alerts on or off.
If anything obstructs the power sliding side door
while it is closing or opening, the door will auto -
matically reverse to the closed or open position
and an audible tone will sound, provided it
meets sufficient resistance. The turn signals
will flash with sliding door movements.
If the power sliding doors encounters
multiple obstructions within the same cycle,
the system will automatically stop.
The Hands-Free Sliding Doors feature may be
turned off through Uconnect Settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further
information. The Hands-Free Sliding Doors
feature should be turned off during jacking, tire
changing, and vehicle service.
Child Locks
To provide a safer environment for small
children riding in the rear seats, the sliding
doors are equipped with a Child Protection Door
Lock system.
WARNING!
Personal injury or cargo damage may occur
if caught in the path of the sliding door.
Make sure the door path is clear before
closing the door.
Before driving off, check the instrument
cluster for a sliding door or door open
message or warning indicator. Failure to do
this could result in unintentionally leaving
the sliding door open while driving.

(Continued)
NOTE:
To open the Hands-Free Liftgate requires a valid
Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
door handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob is
not within 5 ft (1.5 m), the liftgate will not
respond to any kicks.
NOTE:
The Hands-Free Liftgate will only operate
when the transmission is in PARK.
If anything obstructs the Hands-Free Liftgate
while it is opening or closing, the liftgate will
automatically reverse to the closed position,
provided it meets sufficient resistance.
There are pinch sensors attached to the side
of the liftgate opening. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause the
liftgate to return to the open position.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop. If this occurs,
the liftgate must be operated manually.
The power liftgate will release, but not power
open, in temperatures below −12°F
(−24°C). Be sure to remove any buildup of
snow or ice from the liftgate before opening
the liftgate.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate func-
tionality. Gas props support the liftgate in the open
position. However, because the gas pressure
drops with temperature, it may be necessary to
assist the props when opening the liftgate in
cold weather.
NOTE:
Allow the power system to open the liftgate.
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may
activate the liftgate obstacle detection feature
and stop the power operation or reverse its
direction.
CAUTION!
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be
turned on or off in Uconnect Settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information. The Hands-Free Liftgate
feature should be turned off during Jacking,
Tire Changing, and Vehicle Service.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured
by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed
when you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.

2. Unlatch the Portable Air Compressor or Tire Service Kit if equipped. Unscrew the wing
nut that is holding the Inflatable Spare Tire
and gently remove it from the storage area.
Remove wrench from foam tray. NOTE:
Depending on the trim level of the vehicle, the
options for spare tire equipment may vary.
Jacking Equipment
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side
of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull
far enough off the road to avoid the danger
of being hit when operating the jack or
changing the wheel.
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be crushed.
Never put any part of your body under a
vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get
under a raised vehicle, take it to a service
center where it can be raised on a lift.
The jack is designed to be used as a tool for
changing tires only. The jack should not be
used to lift the vehicle for service purposes.
The vehicle should be jacked on a firm level
surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
