{Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with a
remote key is dangerous and children or
others could be seriously injured or killed.
They could operate the power windows
or other controls or make the vehicle
move. The windows will function with
the remote key in the vehicle, and
children or others could be caught in the
path of a closing window. Do not leave
children in a vehicle with a remote key.

Caution
Do not open the inner tailgate with the
primary tailgate open if there is a hitch
ball or trailer attached. This may damage
the tailgate.
To close the inner tailgate with the primary
tailgate closed, firmly push or pull it upward
until it latches. Pull it back to be sure it is
latched securely.
To close the inner tailgate with the primary
tailgate open:
.Hold the primary tailgate and firmly close
the inner tailgate.
.Raise the inner tailgate so it meets the
primary tailgate and close together at the
same time.
When using the tailgate step as a load stop,
the load must be secured as the load could
shift. See Cargo Tie-Downs 0102.
MultiPro Inner Tailgate Enable/Disable
The MultiPro inner tailgate may be equipped
with an enable/disable feature to prevent
the inner tailgate from being opened when
a hitch or other equipment is installed that
could damage the inner tailgate.
To disable the inner tailgate from opening:
ensure that the remote key is within
1 meter (3 ft) of the rear bumper and then
hold the upper touchpad on the tailgate
handle for up to seven seconds. The tail
lamps will flash to alert you that the inner
gate has been disabled. The inner and outer
tailgate can still be operated like a
traditional tailgate, but the inner gate will
not be able to be opened alone. To enable the inner tailgate function, hold
the upper touchpad on the handle for up to
seven seconds until the tail lamps flash. The
inner tailgate can now be opened separately
from the outer tailgate.
Tailgate Step (Step Mode)
{Warning
To avoid personal injury, keep hands
away from the hinges when operating
the tailgate step.
With the primary and inner tailgates open,
the tailgate step can be lowered to access
the pickup bed.
Using the Step
Caution
When using the tailgate as a step, the
load rating is 170 kg (375 lb), which
includes a person and cargo. Overloading
the tailgate step can cause damage to
the tailgate system.

34 Keys, Doors, and Windows
The security light, in the instrument cluster,
comes on if there is a problem with arming
or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more remote keys
matched to an immobilizer control unit in
your vehicle. Only a correctly matched
remote key will start the vehicle. If the
remote key is ever damaged, you may not
be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light may come on briefly when the
ignition is turned on. If the engine does not
start and the security light stays on, there is
a problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change ignition modes
(accessory mode, on, off), and the remote
key appears to be undamaged, try another
remote key. Or, you may try placing the
remote key in the remote key pocket
located in the center console. SeeRemote
Key Operation 015.
If the ignition mode will not change with
the other remote key or with the remote
key in the remote key pocket, your vehicle
needs service. If the ignition does change
modes, the first remote key may be faulty. See your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a new
remote key programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer system to
learn new or replacement remote keys. Up
to eight remote keys can be programmed
for the vehicle. To program additional
remote keys, see "Programming Remote
Keys to the Vehicle" under
Remote Key
Operation 015.
Do not leave the remote key or device that
disarms or deactivates the vehicle theft
system in the vehicle.
Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{Warning
A convex mirror can make things, like
other vehicles, look farther away than
they really are. If you cut too sharply
into the right lane, you could hit a
vehicle on the right. Check the inside
mirror or glance over your shoulder
before changing lanes. Standard Mirrors
If equipped, the passenger side mirror is
convex shaped. A convex mirror surface is
curved so more can be seen from the
driver seat.
Trailer-Tow Mirrors
The upper portion of both the driver and
passenger mirrors is flat.
The lower portion of both the driver and
passenger mirrors is convex. A convex mirror
surface is curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat. The lower portion is
adjusted manually.
Manual Mirrors
If equipped, adjust manual mirrors by
moving the mirror up and down or left to
right to see a little of the side of the vehicle
and to have a clear view behind the vehicle.
Using hood-mounted air deflectors and
add-on convex mirror attachments could
decrease mirror performance.
