 WARNING
OTM050041 
Do not hold the part (gas lifter) that 
supports the liftgate. Be aware that 
the deformation of the part may cause 
vehicle damage and a risk of injury.
 WARNING
•	NEVER allow anyone to occupy the 
luggage compartment of the vehicle 
at any time. If the liftgate is partially 
or totally latched and the person 
is unable to get out, serious injury 
or death could occur due to lack 
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and 
rapid heat build-up, or because of 
exposure to cold weather conditions. 
The luggage compartment is also 
a highly dangerous location in the 
event of a crash because it is not a 
protected occupant space but is a 
part of the vehicle’s crush zone.
•	 Your vehicle should be kept locked 
and keys should be kept out of 
the reach of children. Parents 
should teach their children about 
the dangers of playing in luggage 
compartments.
Emergency liftgate safety release
OTM050042 
Your vehicle is equipped with the 
emergency liftgate safety release lever 
located on the bottom of the liftgate. 
When someone is inadvertently locked 
in the luggage compartment. The liftgate 
can be opened by doing as follows:
1.
 Remo
ve the cover.
2.
 Push the release le
ver to the right by 
a key.
3.
 Push up the liftga
te.
 WARNING
•	For emergencies, be fully aware 
of the location of the emergency 
liftgate safety release lever in the 
vehicle and how to open the liftgate 
if you are accidentally locked in the 
luggage compartment.
•	 No one should be allowed to occupy 
the luggage compartment of the 
vehicle at any time. The luggage 
compartment is a very dangerous 
location in the event of a crash.
•	 Use the release lever for 
emergencies only. Use with extreme 
caution, especially while the vehicle 
is in motion.

Automatic reverse
OTM050053
During power opening or closing if the 
power liftgate senses any obstacle, the 
power liftgate will stop and move in the 
opposite direction.
The auto reverse function may not work 
if objects are too soft or thin, or if the 
liftgate is almost fully closed near the 
latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent any 
objects from obstructing the liftgate 
opening.
If the automatic reverse feature operates 
more than two times while attempting 
to open or close the liftgate, the power 
liftgate may stop at that position. 
 WARNING
Never intentionally place any object 
or part of your body in the path of 
the power liftgate to make sure the 
automatic reverse function operates.
NOTICE
Do not put heavy objects on the power 
liftgate before you operate the power 
liftgate. Additional weight may damage 
the operation of the system.
Non-operating conditions of the 
power liftgate
•	The power liftgate does not open 
when the vehicle is in motion.
The chime will sound if you drive with 
the liftgate opened. Stop your vehicle 
immediately at a safe place and check 
if your liftgate is opened.
•	 Operating the power liftgate more 
than 5 times continuously could 
cause damage to the operating motor. 
If this occurs, the power liftgate 
system enters into thermal protection 
mode to prevent the motor from 
overheating. In thermal protection 
mode, the power liftgate will not 
operate. If any of the power liftgate 
buttons are pressed to try to open the 
liftgate, the chime will sound 3 times 
but the liftgate will not operate.
Allow the power liftgate system 
to cool for about 1 minute before 
operating the system again.   

Maintenance
9-6
Owner maintenance schedule
When you stop for fuel:
•	Check the engine oil level.
•	 Check the coolant level in the engine 
coolant reservoir or the water-cooled 
intercooler coolant reservoir.
•	 Check the windshield washer fluid 
level.
•	 Check for low or under-inflated tires.
 WARNING
Be careful when checking your coolant 
level when the engine is hot. This may 
result in coolant being blown out of the 
opening and cause serious burns and 
other injuries.
While operating your vehicle:
•	Note any changes in the sound of the 
exhaust or any smell of exhaust fumes 
in the vehicle.
•	 Check for vibrations in the steering 
wheel. Notice if there is any increased 
steering effort or looseness in the 
steering wheel, or change in its 
straight-ahead position.
•	 Notice if your vehicle constantly turns 
slightly or “pulls” to one side when 
traveling on smooth, level road.
•	 When stopping, listen and check for 
unusual sounds, pulling to one side, 
increased brake pedal travel or “hard-
to-push” brake pedal.
•	 If any slipping or changes in the 
operation of your transmission occurs, 
check the transmission fluid level.
•	 Check the automatic transmission P 
(Park) function.
•	 Check the parking brake.
•	 Check for fluid leaks under your 
vehicle (water dripping from the air 
conditioning system during or after 
use is normal).
At least monthly:
•	Check coolant level in the engine 
coolant reservoir.
•	 Check the operation of all exterior 
lights, including the stoplights, turn 
signals and hazard warning flashers.
•	 Check the inflation pressures of all 
tires including the spare for tires that 
are worn, show uneven wear, or are 
damaged.
•	 Check for loose wheel lug nuts.
At least twice a year: (i.e., every 
Spring and Autumn)
•	Check radiator, heater and air 
conditioning hoses for leaks or 
damage.
•	 Check windshield washer spray and 
wiper operation. Clean wiper blades 
with a clean cloth dampened with 
washer fluid.
•	 Check headlamp alignment.
•	 Check muffler, exhaust pipes, shields 
and clamps.
•	 Check the seat belts for wear and 
function.
At least once a year:
•	Clean body and door drain holes.
•	 Lubricate door hinges and hood 
hinges.
•	 Lubricate door and hood locks and 
latches.
•	 Lubricate door rubber weather strips.
•	 Check the air conditioning system.
•	 Inspect and lubricate automatic 
transmission linkage and controls.
•	 Clean the battery and terminals.
•	 Check the brake fluid level.
