In this section, you will find important information
to help you become familiar with the features
needed to operate your vehicle, and how they
function.
KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote
liftgate operation. The key fob allows you to lock
or unlock the doors and liftgate. The key fob does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate
the system. The key fob also contains an
emergency key, which is stored inside the key fob.

NOTE:

The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if
the key fob is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop, or other electronic device. This may
result in poor performance.
With ignition in the ON position and the vehicle
moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands
are disabled. Key Fob
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low
or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery can
be verified by referring to the instrument cluster,
which will display directions to follow

Ú
page 259.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door or twice
within one second to unlock all doors and the
liftgate. To lock all the doors and the liftgate, push
the lock button once.
The current unlock setting can be changed
through the radio system menu, so that the
system unlocks:
All doors on the first push of the key fob unlock
button.
The driver door on the first push of the key fob
unlock button.
The liftgate "independently" or "with doors". When the doors are locked/unlocked, the turn
signals will flash and the illuminated entry system
will be activated.

NOTE:
If one or more doors are open when the lock
button is pushed, or the liftgate is open, the doors
will lock. The doors will unlock again automati
-
cally if the key fob is left inside the passenger
compartment, otherwise the doors will stay
locked.
Flashing of the turn signals upon locking/
unlocking the doors, and activation of the
courtesy light upon unlocking the doors, can be
activated or deactivated through the radio
system. For further information, refer to the
Information and Entertainment System Owner’s
Manual Supplement.
Opening The Liftgate
Rapidly push the button on the key fob twice to
open the liftgate. The turn signals will flash to
indicate that the liftgate has been opened.
Key Left Vehicle Feature — If Equipped
If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside
the vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is
in the ON/RUN or START position, the message
“Key Fob Has Left The Vehicle” will be shown in
the instrument cluster display along with an
interior chime. An exterior audible and visual alert
will also be activated to warn the driver.
The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times
along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior

REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
H
OMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that
has been previously trained, without erasing all
the channels, proceed as follows. Be sure to
determine whether the new device you want to
program the HomeLink® button to has a rolling
code, or non-rolling code.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position,
without starting the engine.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the HomeLink® indicator light
begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.
3. Without releasing the button , proceed with
Step 2 in “Programming HomeLink® To A
Garage Door Opener” and follow all
remaining steps.
CANADIAN/GATE OPERATOR
P
ROGRAMMING
For programming transmitters in Canada/United
States that require the transmitter signals to
“time-out” after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission, which may not
be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to time-out in the same manner. It may be helpful to unplug the device during the
cycling process to prevent possible overheating
of the garage door or gate motor.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches
(3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button
you wish to program while keeping the Home -
Link® indicator light in view.
3. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink® button while you push and release (cycle)
your hand-held transmitter every two
seconds until HomeLink® has successfully
accepted the frequency signal. The indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is
programmed. It may take up to 30 seconds or
longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you are programming.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
NOTE:

•If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and the garagedoor/device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pushed.
• To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase thechannels. If you unplugged the garage door opener/device
for programming, plug it back in at this time.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously
trained, follow these steps:
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button until the indicator light begins to flash
after 20 seconds. Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Canadian/Gate Operator Programming”
Step 2 and follow all remaining steps.
SECURITY
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell
or turn in your vehicle.
To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons
for 20 seconds until the indicator flashes. Note
that all channels will be erased. Individual
channels cannot be erased.
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is
disabled when the Vehicle Security system is
active.

PARKING LIGHTS
To turn on the parking lights and instrument
panel lights, rotate the headlight switch clockwise
to the position. All of the parking lights will turn
on for eight minutes, and opening the door
activates an audible warning.
To leave only the lights on one side (right/left)
illuminated, move the multifunction lever
(located on the left side of the steering wheel) to
the side that you want to remain on. With the
parking lights on, the indicator light on the
instrument panel will illuminate.
To turn off the parking lights, rotate the headlight
switch back to the O (off) position.
HEADLIGHT OFF DELAY
To assist when exiting the vehicle, the “Headlight
Off Delay” feature will leave the headlights on for
up to 90 seconds. This delay is initiated when the
ignition is placed in the OFF position while the
headlight switch is on, and then the headlight
switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can be
canceled by either turning on the headlights or
side lights, or by placing the ignition in the ON
position.
The function can be activated from the radio
system by selecting the following functions in
sequence on the main menu:
1. Settings
2. Lights
3. Headlight Off Delay
REAR FOG LIGHTS
The rear fog light switch is located within the
headlight switch.
Push the button, located in the center of the
headlight switch, to turn the rear fog lights on/off.
The rear fog lights turn on only when the
headlights or parking lights are also turned on.
The lights can be turned off by pushing the
button again or by turning the headlight switch to
the O (off) position.
When the engine is stopped with the rear fog
lights on, they will be off the next time the engine
is started.
ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT SYSTEM —
I
F EQUIPPED
This is a system combined with Xenon headlights
(Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp, if equipped) which
directs the headlights horizontally, and contin -
uously and automatically adapts them to the
driving conditions around bends or when
cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light up the
road in the best way, taking into account the
speed of the vehicle and the bend or corner
angle, as well as the speed at which the steering
wheel is turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is started.
TURN SIGNALS

moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal will
flash five times then automatically turn off.
To turn off the flashing before the end of the
cycle, move the lever in the opposite direction
until the first click (about half way).
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Courtesy lights are turned on when the front
doors are opened or when the dimmer control is
rotated to its farthest upward position. The glove
compartment light turns on automatically when
the glove compartment is opened and turn off
when it is closed. The door courtesy lights
illuminate when one of the front doors is opened,
and turn off when it is closed. The liftgate
courtesy lights turn on automatically when the
liftgate is opened and turn off when it is closed.
All of these lights turn on and off regardless of the
ignition status.

At low external temperatures or in high humidity,
the automatic function turns off to avoid fogging
up the windows. The user can select the function
again by pushing the Air Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation will be
controlled by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.

NOTE:

With the AQS function active and after the
internal air recirculation system has been
functioning for a set amount of time, the
Climate Control System enables air intake to
cycle the air in the passenger compartment for
a set time. The AQS function is disabled during
the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required heating
or cooling conditions faster. It is, however,
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it
can increase the possibility of the windows
fogging. When the outside temperature is low,
recirculation is forced off to prevent the
windows from fogging up.
Front Defrost Air comes from the windshield and side
window demist outlets. Use Defrost
mode with maximum temperature
settings for best windshield and side
window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost
Push the Rear Defrost button to activate
(indicators illuminated) the Rear
Defroster. The Rear Defrost will turn off after 20 minutes or
once the engine is turned off.

NOTE:
To avoid damage, do not apply stickers over the
interior heating filaments of the Rear Defroster.
Front Defrost And MAX-DEF Function
Push the MAX-DEF button (indicator
illuminated) to defrost the windshield
and side windows.
While in MAX-DEF function, the air conditioner
will:
Activate the air conditioner compressor when
the weather allows
Turn air recirculation off
Set the maximum air temperature (HI) on both
the driver and passenger side
Activate a blower speed based on the
temperature of the engine coolant
Adjust the air flow towards the windshield and
front side windows
Activate the Rear Window Defrost
Display the fan speed (indicators illuminated)
and current air distribution setting

NOTE:
The MAX-DEF function remains active for approx -
imately three minutes once the engine coolant
reaches the proper temperature.
When the function is on, AUTO mode will
deactivate. The only manual operations possible
are adjusting blower speed and turning off the
Rear Window Defrost. Pushing the Air Recirculation button switches
off the MAX-DEF function.
Air Temperature Adjustment
Rotate the driver or passenger Temperature
Adjustment Knob clockwise for warmer
temperatures or counterclockwise for cooler
temperatures. The set temperatures are shown
on the radio system.
Push the SYNC button to sync the driver and
passenger air temperatures.
Rotate the passenger Temperature Adjustment
Knob to cancel the SYNC function. This will set a
new passenger side temperature.
Rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob fully
clockwise to engage the HI (maximum heating)
setting or fully counterclockwise to engage the
LO (maximum cooling) setting. To deactivate
these functions, rotate the Temperature
Adjustment Knob to the desired temperature.
Rear passengers’ temperature is linked to driver
side selection.
AUTO Button
When the AUTO button is pushed (indicator
illuminated), the Climate Control system automat
-
ically adjusts the following settings:Quantity and distribution of air flow in the
passenger compartment
The air conditioner
Air recirculation
Cancels any manual settings
Selecting the AUTO function illuminates the
indicator on the A/C button.

To Turn On The Climate Control System
To switch the Climate Control system on in
automatic mode, push the AUTO button.
Operating Mode
The Climate Control system can be activated in
different ways. It is recommended to use the
automatic function. Push the AUTO button and
set the desired temperatures.
The automatic system adjusts the temperature,
quantity, and distribution of air introduced into
the passenger compartment. It also controls air
recirculation and the activation of the air
conditioner.
At any time during automatic operation, you can
change the temperature, activate or deactivate
the Rear Defrost, activate SYNC, activate or
deactivate the air conditioner, and activate or
deactivate air recirculation. The system will
automatically adjust to the new settings.
Climate Control Display Settings
The Climate Control settings are visible on the
radio screen.
The display on the radio system is a pop up
window, which is activated by pushing the
buttons or turning the knobs on the Climate
Control system. The indicator lights located on
the buttons and knobs indicate that the selected
feature is on/off. If no operation is performed for
a predetermined time, the pop-up will close on
the display.
Humidity Sensor
The Humidity Sensor helps prevent the windows
from fogging up. The AUTO function (indicator
illuminated) must be on for the Humidity Sensor
to function.
When outside temperature is low, the system may
turn the compressor on and turn air recirculation
off for safer driving.
Stop/Start
The Stop/Start system shuts off the engine when
the vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h), as a fuel
conservation measure.
In order to maintain comfort in the cabin, the
Stop/Start feature will not activate if any of the
following conditions exist:
The Climate Control system is in AUTO mode
(indicator illuminated), and the vehicle has yet
to reach the set temperature
The Climate Control system is in LO maximum
cooling
The Climate Control system is in HI maximum
heating
The Climate Control system is in the MAX-DEF
status
When the Stop/Start system is active, the engine
will restart if the inside temperature changes
significantly, or if the LO setting, or MAX-DEF
setting, is activated. With Stop/Start system on (engine is OFF), air
flow is reduced to keep the compartment comfort
conditions for longer.
Until the temperature drastically changes within
the cabin, the climate control system will
continue to maintain the temperature while the
engine is off. By deactivating the Stop/Start
system with the button (located by the
headlight switch), the climate control system
operates normally according to the settings.

NOTE:

In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of the
Stop/Start system to prevent the compressor
from continuously switching on and off. This
will cause rapid misting of the windows and the
accumulation of humidity in the passenger
compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on, the climate
control system will always take air in from
outside, reducing the probability of the
windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter months, the Climate Control system
must be turned on at least once a month for
approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer before the summer.
