the hazard warning lights will blink
continuously if any of the following
occur:
-A door is opened without using the
smart key.
-The liftgate is opened without using
the smart key.
-The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds, then
the system resets. To turn off the alarm,

The Theft Alarm System automatically
sets 30 seconds after you lock the
doors and the liftgate. For the system to
activate, you must lock the doors and
the liftgate from outside the vehicle with
the smart key or by touching the touch
sensor on the outside of the door handle
with the smart key in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink and
the chime will sound once to indicate the
system is armed.
Once the security system is set, opening
any door, the liftgate, or the hood
without using the smart key will cause
the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if the
hood, the liftgate, or any door is not fully
closed. If the system will not set, check
the hood, the liftgate, or the doors are
fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.

passengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the vehicle
when the system is armed, the alarm
will be activated.

smart key, open the doors by using the
mechanical key and start the engine by
directly pressing the Engine Start/Stop
button with the smart key.

Automatic reverse
ONX4E050030
During power opening and closing if the
power liftgate is blocked by an object or
part of the body, the power liftgate will
detect the resistance.
• If the resistance is detected while
opening the liftgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• If the resistance is detected while
closing the liftgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the liftgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance. If the automatic
reversal feature operates continuously
more than twice during opening or
closing operation, the power liftgate may
stop at that position. At this time, close
the liftgate manually and operate the
liftgate automatically again.
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
over 2mph (3km/h) 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.
• The power liftgate can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However the power liftgate operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not
operate it excessively e.g.: more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
liftgate in the open position for a long
lime.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power liftgate. This
could cause the power liftgate to
operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power
liftgate may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
