Automatic reversal
ODH043039
If the power sunshade or sunroof glass
senses any obstacle while it is closing
automatically, it will reverse direction
then stop at a certain position.
The auto reverse function may not
work if an object thin or soft is caught
between the sliding power sunshade or
sunroof glass and sunroof sash.
WARNING
• Make sure heads, hands, arms or
any other body parts or objects are
out of the way before operating the
sunroof. Body parts or objects may
get caught causing injuries or vehicle
damage.
• Never deliberately use your body
parts to test the automatic reversal
function. The power sunshade or
sunroof glass may reverse direction,
but there is a risk of injury.
NOTICE
• Do not continue to push the sunroof
switch after the sunroof is fully
opened, closed, or tilted. Damage to
the sunroof motor could occur.
• Continuous operations such as slide
open/close, tilt open/close, etc. may
cause the motor or sunroof system to
malfunction.
• Regularly remove any accumulated
dust on the sunroof rail.
• Using the sunroof for a long time
can make noise caused by dust in
accumulated between the sunroof
and vehicle body. Open the sunroof
and remove dust regularly using a
clean cloth.
• Do not try to open the sunroof when
the temperature is below freezing
or when the sunroof is covered with
snow or ice, otherwise the motor
could be damaged. In cold and wet
climates, the sunroof may not work
properly.
• Do not open or drive with the sunroof
glass open immediately after rain or
washing the vehicle. Water may wet
the interior of the vehicle.
• Do not extend any luggage outside
the sunroof while driving. Vehicle
damage may occur if the vehicle
suddenly stops.
WARNING
Do not extend your head, arms, body
parts or objects outside the sunroof
while driving. Injuries may occur if the
vehicle suddenly stops.

Emergency liftgate safety release
ONX4E050059R
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 moving the lever in the
direction of the arrow and pushing the
liftgate open.
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.
Power liftgate (if equipped)
The power liftgate open/close button
automatically opens and closes the
liftgate.
Before using the power liftgate
The power liftgate operates when the
gear is in P (Park) with the Engine Start/
Stop button in the ON position. However,
the liftgate will operate regardless of the
gear position when the engine is off.
For safety, before attempting to open or
close the liftgate, make sure the vehicle
is in P (Park).
WARNING
• Never leave children unattended
in your vehicle. Children might
operate the power liftgate. Doing so
could result in injury to themselves
or others, and could damage the
vehicle.
• Make sure there are no people or
objects around the liftgate before
operating the power liftgate. Wait
until the liftgate is opened fully and
stopped before loading or unloading
cargo or passengers from the
vehicle.
NOTICE
Do not close or open the power
liftgate manually. This may cause
damage to the power liftgate. If it is
necessary to close or open the power
liftgate manually when the battery is
discharged or disconnected, do not
apply excessive force.

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.

WARNING
Always keep the liftgate completely
closed while the vehicle is in motion. If
it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases containing carbon monoxide
(CO) may enter the vehicle and serious
illness or death may result.
WARNING
Occupants should never ride in the
rear cargo area where no restraints are
available. To avoid injury in the event of
an accident or sudden stops, occupants
should always be properly restrained.

The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble :
JBM004
• Fading - As your vehicle moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to fade.
When this occurs, we suggest that you
select another stronger station.
• Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals
or large obstructions between the
transmitter and your radio can disturb
the signal causing static or fluttering
noises to occur. Reducing the treble
level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.
OJF045311L
• Station Swapping - As a FM signal
weakens, another more powerful
signal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
• Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio
signals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or
fluttering. This can be caused by a
direct and reflected signal from the
same station, or by signals from two
stations with close frequencies. If this
occurs, select another station until the
condition has passed.
