NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when
the wiper switch is in the low, high, or OFF posi -
tion. Only in one of the intermittent positions.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function prop -
erly when ice or dried saltwater is present on the
windshield.
Use of products containing wax or silicone may
reduce rain sensor performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and
off through the Uconnect system Ú page 204.The Rain Sensing system has protective features
for the wiper blades and arms. It will not operate
under the following conditions:
Low Temperature Wipe Inhibit
— The Rain
Sensing feature will not operate when the igni -
tion is first placed in the ON/RUN position, when
the vehicle is stationary and the outside
temperature is below 32°F (0°C), unless the
wiper control on the windshield wiper lever is
moved, the vehicle speed becomes greater than
3 mph (5 km/h) or the outside temperature
rises above freezing.
Neutral Wipe Inhibit — The Rain Sensing feature
will not operate when the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position, when the transmission
gear selector is in the NEUTRAL position and the
vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h),
unless the wiper control on the windshield wiper
lever is moved, the vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h) or the gear selector is moved
out of the NEUTRAL position.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with the Remote Start system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode. Once the
operator is in the vehicle and has placed the
ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, rain
sensing wiper operation can resume, if it has
been selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield
could lead to a collision. You might not see other
vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden
icing of the windshield during freezing weather,

manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE — IF EQUIPPED

Hands-Free Liftgate Activation Zone
To open or close the liftgate using hands-free
activation, use a straight in and out kicking motion
under the vehicle activation zone in the general
location below the rear license plate. The activation
zone is about 1.8 ft (0.5 m) from side to side. Do not
move your foot sideways or in a sweeping motion or
the sensors may not detect the motion.

NOTE:The activation zone is the same for vehicles
equipped with or without a trailer tow package.
When a valid kicking motion is completed, the
liftgate will chime, the hazard lights will flash and
the liftgate will open after approximately one
second, or close after approximately three
seconds. These settings can be enabled or
disabled through Uconnect Settings Ú page 204.

90GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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.

ODE MESSAGE — ELECTRICAL LOAD
R
EDUCTION ACTIONS — IF EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery
Sensor (IBS) to perform additional monitoring of
the electrical system and status of the vehicle
battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system
failure, or the vehicle battery conditions are
deteriorating, electrical load reduction actions will
take place to extend the driving time and distance
of the vehicle. This is done by reducing power to or
turning off non-essential electrical loads.
Load reduction is only active when the engine is
running. It will display a message if there is a risk
of battery depletion to the point where the vehicle
may stall due to lack of electrical supply, or will not
restart after the current drive cycle.

Ú page 337.
Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Warning Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard
Diagnostic System called OBD II that
monitors engine and automatic
transmission control systems. This warning light
will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON/RUN
position before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the ignition switch from OFF
to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas
cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light
after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if
the light stays on through several typical driving
styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and will not require towing. When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to
alert serious conditions that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic
converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced
by an authorized dealer as soon as possible if this
occurs.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as
previously referenced, can reach higher
temperatures than in normal operating
conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive
slowly or park over flammable substances such
as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could
result in death or serious injury to the driver,
occupants or others.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the
vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel
economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing,
severe catalytic converter damage and power
loss will soon occur. Immediate service is
required.

also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if underinflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may result
when using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to
become inoperable. After using an aftermarket
tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
