Remote Vehicle Start

This vehicle may have a remote starting feature that allows you to start the engine from outside the vehicle.

/ (Remote Vehicle Start):

This button will be on the RKE transmitter if you have remote start.

The automatic climate control will begin to heat or cool your vehicle during remote start depending on the temperature inside and outside of the vehicle. The windshield defroster and/or rear window defogger turn on if it is cold outside. If the vehicle has heated seats, they may also be turned on during remote start to warm up the seat in cold weather. Normal operation of the climate control system returns

after the ignition is turned to ON/RUN. See Dual Automatic

Climate Control System page 7‑1

Laws in some local communities may restrict the use of remote starters. For example, some laws may require a person using remote start to have the vehicle in view when doing so. Check local regulations for any requirements on remote starting of vehicles.

If your vehicle is low on fuel, do not use the remote start feature. The vehicle may run out of fuel.

If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the RKE transmitter functions will have an increased range of operation. However, the range may be less while the vehicle is running.

There are other conditions which can affect the performance of the transmitter, see Remote Keyless

Entry (RKE) System

for additional information.

WARNING

{

Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers, especially children, can easily open the doors and fall out of a moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the handle will not open it. The chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in a crash is increased if the doors are not locked. So, all passengers should wear safety belts properly and the doors should be locked whenever the vehicle is driven.

(Continued)

WARNING (Continued)

Young children who get into unlocked vehicles may be unable to get out. A child can be overcome by extreme heat and can suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke. Always lock the vehicle whenever leaving it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked door when you slow down or stop your vehicle. Locking your doors can help prevent this from happening.

The switch is located on the driver’s door. The vehicle must be in P (Park) to use the power feature. The taillamps flash when the power liftgate moves.

WARNING

{

You or others could be injured if caught in the path of the power liftgate. Make sure there is no one in the way of the liftgate as it is opening and closing.

Notice: If you open the liftgate without checking for overhead obstructions such as a garage door, you could damage the liftgate or the liftgate glass. Always check to make sure the area above and behind the liftgate is clear before opening it.

The power liftgate has three modes of operation. Mode selection is controlled by the interior mode switch located on the driver door.

Choose the power liftgate mode by turning the dial on the switch until the indicator lines up with the desired position.

The three modes are:

MAX: The liftgate power opens to the full open height.

3/4: The liftgate power opens to a reduced open height that can be set by the vehicle operator in a range of approximately ¾ open to full open.

Use this setting to prevent the liftgate from opening into overhead obstructions such as a garage door or roof mounted cargo during power operation. The liftgate can still be opened fully manually.

OFF: The liftgate only operates manually in this position.

Manual operation of a liftgate that also has power operation requires more effort than with a standard manual liftgate.

In either the MAX or the ¾ mode, the liftgate can be power opened and closed by:

Press and hold the power liftgate button & on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter until the liftgate starts moving. See Remote Keyless Entry

(RKE) System Operation (Key Access) Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation (Keyless Access) on page 1‑7.

on page 1‑5

Press the power liftgate button on the center of the mode switch, located on the driver’s door.

Press the touchpad switch on the liftgate outside handle to open the liftgate.

Press and release the power liftgate button on the liftgate adjacent to the latch to close the liftgate.

Keys, Doors and Windows 1-21

Pressing any button that operates the power liftgate, or the touchpad switch while the liftgate is moving, stops it. Pressing the button or RKE switch again reverses the direction. There is a minimum that the power liftgate must already be open for the system to hold it open. If movement is stopped below that minimum the liftgate closes.

Do not force the liftgate open or closed during a power cycle.

The power liftgate may be temporarily disabled under extreme temperatures or low battery conditions. If this occurs, the liftgate can still be operated manually.

If you shift the transmission out of P (Park) while the power function is in progress, the liftgate power function will continue to completion. If you shift the transmission out of P (Park) and accelerate before the power liftgate latch is closed, the liftgate may reverse to the open position. Cargo could fall out of the

vehicle. Always make sure the power liftgate is closed and latched before you drive away.

If the liftgate is powered open and the liftgate support struts have lost pressure, the turn signals will flash and a chime will sound. The liftgate will stay open temporarily, and then slowly close. See your dealer/ retailer for service before using the liftgate.

Obstacle Detection Features

If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during a power open or close cycle, a warning chime will sound and the liftgate will automatically reverse direction to the full closed or open position. After removing the obstruction, the power liftgate operation can be used again. If the liftgate encounters multiple obstacles on the same power cycle, the power function will deactivate. After removing the obstructions, the liftgate will resume normal power operation.

1-22 Keys, Doors and Windows

The vehicle has pinch sensors located on the side edges of the liftgate. If an object is caught between the liftgate and the body and presses against this sensor, the liftgate will reverse direction and open fully. The liftgate will remain open until it is activated again or closed manually.

Setting the Power Liftgate Intermediate Mode

To change the liftgate stop position:

1. Turn the liftgate switch to either the MAX, or the ¾ mode position and power open the liftgate.

2. Stop the liftgate movement at the desired height by pressing any button that operates the power lift gate, or the touchpad switch. Manually adjust the liftgate position if required.

3. Press and hold the button on the liftgate adjacent to the latch until the turn signals flash and a beep sounds to indicate that the new setting is recorded.

When power opened with the ¾ mode selected, the liftgate stops at the new set position.

If an audible and visual response is not received when setting the intermediate stop position, the liftgate height is below the ¾ open height minimum, approximately 5 feet at the edge of the liftgate.

Manual Operation of Power Liftgate

To change the liftgate to manual operation, turn the mode switch to OFF.

With the power liftgate disabled and all of the doors unlocked, the liftgate can be manually opened and closed. Note: Manual efforts of

a vehicle equipped with a power liftgate will be higher than a standard non-power liftgate.

To open the liftgate, press the touchpad on the handle on the outside of the liftgate, and lift the gate open. To close the liftgate, use the pull cup to lower the liftgate and close. With the power liftgate disabled the liftgate electric latch will still power latch once contact is made with the striker. Always close the liftgate before driving.

If the RKE button is pressed while power operation is disabled, the turn signals will flash, and the liftgate will not move.

The liftgate has an electric latch. If the battery is disconnected or has low voltage, the liftgate will not open. The liftgate will resume operation when the battery is reconnected and charged.

Vehicle Security

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. This vehicle has theft-deterrent features, however, they do not make it impossible to steal.

Anti-Theft Alarm System

This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system.

The security light, located in the instrument panel cluster, comes on when the system is arming.

Arming the System

To arm the system,

1. Open the door.

2. Lock the door with the transmitter. The security light should come on and stay on.

3. Close all doors. The security light should go off after about 30 seconds. The alarm is not armed until the security light goes off.

If a locked door or trunk is opened without using the key in the driver's door key cylinder or the transmitter, a ten second pre-alarm will occur. The horn will chirp and the lights will flash. If the key is not placed in the ignition and turned to START or the door is not unlocked by pressing the unlock button on the transmitter during the ten second pre-alarm, the alarm will go off. Your vehicle's headlamps will flash and the horn will sound for about 30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.

The theft-deterrent system will not activate if the doors are locked with the vehicle's key or the manual door lock. It activates only if the power door lock switch is used while the door is open or with the transmitter. You should also remember that you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off.

To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

Lock the vehicle with the door key after the doors are closed.

Always unlock a door with the transmitter. Unlocking a door any other way will set off the alarm.

If you set off the alarm by accident, turn off the alarm by pressing the unlock button on the transmitter. The alarm will not stop if you try to unlock a door any other way.

Immobilizer Operation (Key Access)

This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system.

The system does not have to be manually armed or disarmed.

The vehicle is automatically immobilized when the key is removed from the ignition.

The system is automatically disarmed when the vehicle is started with the correct key. The key uses a transponder that matches an immobilizer control unit in the vehicle and automatically disarms the system. Only the correct key starts the vehicle. The vehicle may not start if the key is damaged.

The security light, located in the instrument panel cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.

When trying to start the vehicle, the security light comes 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 engine still does not start, and the key appears to be undamaged, try another ignition key.

If the engine still does not start and the light continues to stay on try another key.
