Seatbelt Reminder Indicators
A warning lamp illuminates if the ignition is
on, a front seat is occupied and the seatbelt
has not been fastened.
The warning lamp illuminates until
you fasten your seatbelt.
Seatbelt Reminder Audible Warnings
A warning tone sounds if the warning lamp
illuminates and your vehicle exceeds a
relatively low speed.
The warning tone sounds for up to five
minutes or until you fasten your seatbelt. Switching the Seatbelt Reminder On
and Off WARNING: While the system allows
you to deactivate it, this system is designed
to improve your chances of being safely
belted and surviving an accident. We
recommend you leave the system
activated for yourself and others who may
use the vehicle.
Note: The driver and front passenger
warnings switch off independently. When
you perform this procedure for one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as
this cancels the process.
Note: If you are using MyKey, you cannot
disable the seatbelt reminder. Also, if the
seatbelt reminder has been previously
disabled, it will be re-enabled during the use
of MyKey.
See MyKey™ (page 84).
Read Steps 1 - 4 before proceeding with the
programming procedure. Make sure that:
•
The parking brake is set.
• The transmission is in park (P).
• The ignition is off.
• The driver and front passenger seatbelts
are unfastened.
1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the engine.
2. Wait about one minute until the seatbelt warning light switches off. After Step 2,
wait an additional five seconds before
proceeding with Step 3. Once you start
Step 3, you must complete the procedure
within 30 seconds.
3. For the seating position you are switching
off, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt
three times at a moderate speed, ending
in the unbuckled state. After Step 3, the
seatbelt warning light switches on.
4. When the seatbelt warning light is on, buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt. After
Step 4, the seatbelt warning light flashes
for confirmation.
This switches the feature off for that seating
position if it is currently on.

LIFTGATE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: It is extremely dangerous
to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of
a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death. WARNING: Make sure that you fully
close the liftgate to prevent exhaust fumes
from entering your vehicle. If you are
unable to fully close the liftgate, open the
air vents or the windows to allow fresh air
to enter your vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death. WARNING:
Keep keys out of reach
of children. Do not allow children to
operate or play near an open or moving
power liftgate. You should supervise the
operation of the power liftgate at all times.
OPENING THE LIFTGATE
Opening the Liftgate From Inside Your
Vehicle With the transmission in park (P),
press the button on the instrument
panel.
Note: Be careful when opening or closing
the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note: Do not hang anything, for example a
bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This
could damage the liftgate and its
components.
Note: Do not leave the liftgate open while
driving. This could damage the liftgate and
its components. Opening the Liftgate From Outside
Your Vehicle
1. Unlock the liftgate with the remote
control or power door unlock control. If
a passive key is within
3 ft (1 m) of the
liftgate, the liftgate unlocks when you
press the liftgate release button. 2. Press and release the liftgate control
button.

4. The power liftgate now opens at the
programmed height. To change the
programmed height, repeat the steps.
Note: You can fully open the liftgate by
manually pushing it upward to the maximum
open position if it opens in a lower position.
Note: The system recalls the new
programmed height until you reprogram it,
even if you disconnect the battery.
CLOSING THE LIFTGATE
Closing the Liftgate From Inside Your
Vehicle WARNING: Make sure all persons
are clear of the power liftgate area before
using the power liftgate control. With the transmission in park (P),
press the button on the instrument
panel. Note:
Make sure that you close the liftgate
before operating or moving your vehicle,
especially in an enclosure, like a garage or
a parking structure. This could damage the
liftgate and its components.
Note: Make sure the area behind your
vehicle is free from obstruction and that
there is enough room for you to operate the
liftgate. Objects too close to your vehicle,
for example a wall, garage door or another
vehicle may come into contact with the
moving liftgate. This could damage the
liftgate and its components.
Note: Make sure that you fully close the
liftgate to prevent cargo from falling out.
Closing the Liftgate From Outside Your
Vehicle WARNING:
Make sure all persons
are clear of the power liftgate area before
using the power liftgate control. Press and release the liftgate button.

especially in an enclosure, like a garage or
a parking structure. This could damage the
liftgate and its components.
Note: Make sure the area behind your
vehicle is free from obstruction and that
there is enough room for you to operate the
liftgate. Objects too close to your vehicle,

vehicle may come into contact with the
moving liftgate. This could damage the
liftgate and its components.

Liftgate – Frequently Asked Questions
Why won't my power liftgate function?
Make sure the transmission is in park
(P), ensure nothing is obstructing the
liftgate path and there is not excessive
weight on the liftgate. If there are
continued issues, the battery voltage
may be low or other system issues. See
an authorized dealer.
