so could cause the hood to fly open and
result in an accident.
∙ If you see steam or smoke coming from the engine compartment, to avoid injury
do not open the hood.
WARNING
∙ Always be sure the liftgate has beenclosed securely to prevent it from open-
ing while driving.
∙ Do not drive with the liftgate open. This could allow dangerous exhaust gases to
be drawn into the vehicle. For additional
information, refer to “Exhaust gas (car-
bon monoxide)” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave children,
people who require the assistance of oth-
ers or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people and
pets.
∙ Always be sure that hands and feet are clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing the liftgate.

OPERATING THE POWER
LIFTGATE
WARNING
∙ Make sure that all passengers have theirhands, etc., inside the vehicle before clos-
ing the liftgate. ∙ To help avoid risk of injury and/or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and or its systems, including entrap-
ment in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave children,
people who require the assistance of oth-
ers and/or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people and/or pets. NOTE:
To open, close or reverse the power liftgate,
engage the P (Park) position. Also, the
power liftgate will not operate if the battery
voltage is low.
Power Open:
The power liftgate automatically moves from
the fully closed position to the fully open
position in approximately 5 to 8 seconds. The
power open feature can be activated by the
switch on the Intelligent Key, the instrument
panel switch or the liftgate opener switch
A.
A chime sounds to indicate the power open
sequence has been started.
∙ When the vehicle is locked, the liftgate can be opened by the instrument panel
switch, Intelligent Key and liftgate opener
switch
A(with the Intelligent Key in lift-
gate operation range). The liftgate will
individually unlock and open. Once the

3-24Pre-driving checks and adjustments
CAUTION
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the en-
gine oil is hot.
WARNING
∙ Prolonged and repeated contact withused engine oil may cause skin cancer.
∙ Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thor-
oughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon
as possible.
∙ Keep used engine oil out of reach of children.
4. Loosen the oil filter with an oil filter wrench by turning it counterclockwise.
Remove the oil filter by turning it by
hand.
5. Wipe the engine oil filter mounting sur- face with a clean rag.
CAUTION
Be sure to remove any old gasket material
remaining on the sealing surface of the en-
gine. Failure to do so could lead to an oil
leak and engine damage.
∙ The dipstick must be inserted in place toprevent oil spillage from the dipstick hole
when filling the engine with oil.
6. Coat the gasket on the new filter with clean engine oil.
7. Screw in the oil filter clockwise until a slight resistance is felt, then tighten ad-
ditionally more than 2/3 turn.
Oil filter tightening torque: 11 to 15 ft-lb (14.7 to 20.6 N·m)
8. Clean and re-install the drain plug with a new washer. Securely tighten the drain
plug with a wrench. Do not use excessive
force.
Drain plug tightening torque: 22 to 29 ft-lb (29.4 to 39.2 N·m)
9. Refill the engine with the recommended oil through the oil filler opening, and in-
stall the oil filler cap securely. For additional information about drain and
refill capacity, refer to “Recommended
fluids/lubricants and capacities” in the “Tech-
nical and consumer information” section of
this manual. The drain and refill capacity de-
pends on the oil temperature and drain time.
Use these specifications for reference only.
Always use the dipstick to determine the
proper amount of oil in the engine.
10. Start the engine and check for leakage
around the drain plug and the oil filter.
Correct as required. Turn the engine off
and wait more than 15 minutes. Check
the oil level with the dipstick. Add engine
oil if necessary.
After the operation
1. Reinstall engine protectors in reverse or-der of removal.
2. Lower the vehicle carefully to the ground.
3. Reset the oil control system. For addi- tional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
∙ Dispose of waste oil and filter properly.
∙ Check your local regulations.
