When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to
open the doors.
WARNING
• Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.
• Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic. •
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.

NOTE:
Tow hitches are available as an acces-
sory for this vehicle. If a tow hitch is in-
stalled, the Motion-Activated Lif tgate
electronic control unit (ECU) needs to be
replaced with an ECU programmed with
towing logic for the Motion-Activated
Lif tgate to function properly.
Proper operation technique
• While at the rear of the vehicle, beginmaking a quick forward kicking motion.
• Raise your foot straight under the center of the rear bumper then immediately re-
turn your foot to the ground in a continu-
ous motion.
• The kicking motion should be straight, smooth and consistent.

vated at lower speeds.
•
The MOD system is not designed to de-
tect surrounding stationary objects.
The MOD system can inform the driver of
moving objects near the vehicle when
backing out of garages, maneuvering in
parking lots and in other such instances.
The MOD system detects moving objects
by using image processing technology on
the image shown in the display.
MOD SYSTEM OPERATION
The MOD system will turn on automatically
under the following conditions:
• When the shif t lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
• When vehicle speed decreases below ap- proximately 6 mph (10 km/h) and the
camera screen is displayed.
The MOD system operates in the following
conditions when the camera view is
displayed:
• When the shif t lever is in the P (Park) or N(Neutral) position and the vehicle is
stopped, the MOD system detects mov-
ing objects in the bird’s-eye view. The
MOD system will not operate if the out-
side mirrors are moving in or out, in the
stowed position, or if either front door is
opened.
