NOTE:
Opening or closing the Hands-Free Liftgate
requires a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the liftgate handle. If a valid Passive
Entry key fob is not within 5 ft (1.5 m), the lift -
gate will not respond to any kicks.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be turned
on or off through the Uconnect system
Ú page 204.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature should be
turned off during jacking, tire changing, manual
car wash, and vehicle service.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature can be acti -
vated by any metallic object making a similar
in-and-out motion under the rear fascia/
bumper, such as cleaning using a metal broom.
The Hands-Free Liftgate will only operate when
the transmission is in PARK.
If anything obstructs the Hands-Free Liftgate
while it is opening or closing, the liftgate will
automatically reverse to the closed/open posi -
tion, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
There are pinch sensors attached to the side of
the liftgate opening. Light pressure anywhere
along these strips will cause the liftgate to
return to the open position.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the system
will automatically stop. If this occurs, the liftgate
must be operated manually.
The power liftgate will release, but not power
open, in temperatures below −12°F (−24°C).
Be sure to remove any buildup of snow or ice
from the liftgate before opening the liftgate.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended period
of time (approximately one hour), the liftgate
may need to be closed manually to reset power
liftgate functionality. Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.
However, because the gas pressure drops with
temperature, it may be necessary to assist the
props when opening the liftgate in cold weather.
NOTE:Allow the power system to open the liftgate.
Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may
activate the liftgate obstacle detection feature and
stop the power operation or reverse its direction.
CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Storage
The load floor is designed for a maximum load of
300 lb (136 kg).
If equipped, there may be a removable storage bin
located on the left side of the rear cargo area.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when
you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are closed,
and the climate control blower switch is set at
high speed. Do not use the recirculation
mode.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or cargo
damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel
path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed
and latched before driving away.

STARTING AND OPERATING129
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for
prolonged periods with the engine running. Apply
the parking brake and shift the transmission into
PARK (P) if you must exit the vehicle.
DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most city and
highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts
and downshifts, and the best fuel economy. The
transmission automatically upshifts through all
forward gears. When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such
as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading
conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong
head winds, or while towing a heavy trailer), use
the AutoStick shift control to select a lower gear
Ú
page 130. Under these conditions, using a lower
gear will improve performance and extend
transmission life by reducing excessive shifting
and heat buildup.
During cold temperatures, transmission operation
may be modified depending on engine and
transmission temperature as well as vehicle
speed. This feature improves warm-up time of the
engine and transmission to achieve maximum
efficiency. Engagement of the torque converter
clutch is inhibited until the transmission fluid is
warm. Normal operation will resume once the
transmission temperature has risen to a suitable
level.
Transmission Limp Home Mode
Transmission function is monitored electronically
for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected
that could result in transmission damage,
Transmission Limp Home Mode is activated. In this
mode, the transmission may operate only in
certain gears, or may not shift at all. Vehicle
performance may be severely degraded and the
engine may stall. In some situations, the
transmission may not re-engage if the engine is
turned off and restarted. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated. A message in the
instrument cluster will inform the driver of the
more serious conditions, and indicate what actions
may be necessary.
In the event of a momentary problem, the
transmission can be reset to regain all forward
gears by performing the following steps:
NOTE:In cases where the instrument cluster message
indicates the transmission may not re-engage after
engine shutdown, perform this procedure only in a
desired location (preferably, at an authorized
dealer).

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Shift the transmission into PARK (P), if
possible. If not, shift the transmission to
NEUTRAL (N).
3. Push and hold the ignition switch until the engine turns off.
4. Wait approximately 30 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
6. Shift into the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the
transmission will return to normal operation.
WARNING!
Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the
ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe
practices that limit your response to changing
traffic or road conditions. You might lose control
of the vehicle and have a collision.
CAUTION!
Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any
other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL
can cause severe transmission damage.
For Recreational Towing see Ú page 195.
For Towing A Disabled Vehicle see Ú page 326.

STARTING AND OPERATING137
Normal Ride Height (NRH) 0.0 inches (0 mm) –
This is the standard position of the suspension
and is meant for normal driving.
Aero Height (Lowers the vehicle approximately
-0.8 inches [-21 mm] Front and -1.0 inches
[-25 mm] Rear) – This position provides
improved aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle.
The vehicle will automatically enter Aero when
the vehicle speed remains between 62 mph
(100 km/h) and 66 mph (106 km/h) for greater
than 20 seconds or if the vehicle speed exceeds
66 mph (106 km/h). The vehicle will return to
NRH from Aero if the vehicle speed remains
between 30 mph (48 km/h) and 35 mph
(56 km/h) for greater than 20 seconds or if the
vehicle speed falls below 30 mph (48 km/h).
The vehicle will enter Aero, regardless of vehicle
speed if the vehicle is in SPORT mode.
Entry/Exit Height (Lowers the vehicle approxi -
mately -1.8 inches [-46 mm] Front and
-2.0 inches [-50 mm] Rear) – This position
lowers the vehicle for easier passenger entry
and exit as well as lowering the rear of the
vehicle for easier loading and unloading of
cargo. To enter Entry/Exit, push the DOWN
button twice from NRH while the vehicle speed
is below 4 mph (6 km/h). To exit Entry/Exit,
push the UP button twice while in Entry/Exit or
drive the vehicle over 6 mph (10 km/h).
NOTE:Automatic lowering of the vehicle into Entry/Exit
can be enabled through the Uconnect Touch -
screen Radio by selecting the “Auto Entry/Exit”
setting. If this feature is enabled, the vehicle will
only lower if the gear selector is in PARK, the
terrain switch is in AUTO, the transfer case is in
AUTO and the vehicle level is either in Normal or
Aero Height. The vehicle will not automatically
lower to Entry/Exit height if the air suspension level
is in OR2 or OR1. If the vehicle is equipped with
Intrusion Theft Module (ITM), the lowering will be
suppressed when the ignition is switched OFF and
the door is open to prevent setting the alarm off.
The Selec-Terrain system will automatically change
the vehicle to the proper height based on the
position of the Selec-Terrain switch. The height can
be changed from the default Selec-Terrain setting
by normal use of the air suspension buttons
Ú page 134.
The system requires that the engine be running for
all changes. When lowering the vehicle all of the
doors must be closed. If a door is opened at any
time while the vehicle is lowering the change will
not be completed until the open door(s) is/are
closed.
The Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system uses a
lifting and lowering pattern which keeps the
headlights from incorrectly shining into oncoming
traffic. When raising the vehicle, the rear of the vehicle will move up first and then the front. When
lowering the vehicle, the front will move down first
and then the rear.
After the engine is turned off, it may be noticed that
the air suspension system operates briefly; this is
normal. The system is correcting the position of the
vehicle to ensure a proper appearance.
To assist with changing a spare tire, the
Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system has a feature
which allows the automatic leveling to be disabled
Ú
page 204.
Default Ride Height
Select Aero Height or Normal Ride Height as the
default for all vehicle speeds and operation.
This is the selected height that the suspension
will level for speed changes (e.g. raising from
Entry/Exit Height at speed, lowering from Off
Road Height at speed, etc.).
Default ride height can be changed by manually
adjusting the ride height switch to Normal Ride
Height or Aero Height and staying in the
selected height for 2.5 seconds. It will be stored
as the default ride height and the height will be
maintained until a new default ride height is
selected.
If equipped with a touchscreen radio, all enabling/
disabling of air suspension features must be done
through the radio Ú page 204.
