the vehicle. Allow the power cycle to
complete.
The power liftgate may be temporarily
disabled under extreme low temperatures,
or after repeated power cycling over a short
period of time. If this occurs, the liftgate can
still be operated manually.
If the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park) while
the power function is in progress, the
liftgate will continue to completion. If the
vehicle is accelerated before the liftgate has
completed moving, the liftgate may stop or
reverse direction. Check for DIC messages
and make sure the liftgate is closed and
latched before driving.
Falling Liftgate Detection
If the power liftgate automatically closes
after a power opening cycle, it indicates that
the system is reacting to excess weight on
the liftgate or a possible support strut
failure. A repetitive chime will sound while
the falling liftgate detection feature is
operating. Remove any excess weight. If the
liftgate continues to automatically close
after opening, see your dealer for service
before using the power liftgate.
Interfering with the power liftgate motion
or manually closing the liftgate too quickly
after power opening may resemble a
support strut failure. This could also activate
the falling liftgate detection feature. Allow
the liftgate to complete its operation and
wait a few seconds before manually closing
the liftgate.
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during
a power open or close cycle, the liftgate will
automatically reverse direction and move a
short distance away from the obstacle. 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,
manually close the liftgate which will allow
normal power operation functions to
resume.
If the vehicle is locked while the liftgate is
closing, and an obstacle is encountered that
prevents the liftgate from completely
closing, the horn will sound as an alert that
the liftgate did not close.
Setting the 3/4 Mode
To change the position the liftgate stops at
when opening:
1. Select MAX or 3/4 mode and power
open the liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement at the
desired height by pressing any liftgate
switch. Manually adjust the liftgate
position if needed.
3. Press and hold
latch at the bottom of the liftgate until
the turn signals flash and a beep sounds.
This indicates the setting has been
recorded.
The liftgate cannot be set below a minimum
programmable height. If there is no light
flash or sound, then the height adjustment
may be too low.

Caution
Attempting to move the liftgate too
quickly and with excessive force may
result in damage to the vehicle.
Operate the liftgate manually with a
smooth motion and moderate speed. The
system includes a feature which limits the
manual closing speed to protect the
components.
Hands-Free Operation
If equipped, the liftgate may be operated
with a kicking motion near the left side of
the rear bumper at the location of the
projected logo. The RKE transmitter must be
within 1 m (3 ft) of the rear bumper to
operate the power liftgate hands-free.
The hands-free feature will not work while
the liftgate is moving. To stop the liftgate
while in motion use one of the liftgate
switches.
The hands-free feature can be customized.
See Vehicle Personalization 0 114. Choose
from the following:
On-Open and Close : The kicking motion is
activated to both open and close the
liftgate.

Kick Zone
To operate, move your foot in a forward
kicking motion near the left side of the rear
bumper at the location of the projected
logo, then pull it back. The kick must come
within 14 cm (6 in) of the rear bumper to
activate. Then step back.
Caution
Splashing water may cause the liftgate to
open. Keep the RKE transmitter away
from the rear bumper detection area or
turn the liftgate mode to OFF when
cleaning or working near the rear bumper
to avoid accidental opening.
.
Do not sweep your foot side to side.
.
Do not keep your foot under the bumper;
the liftgate will not activate.
.
Do not touch the liftgate until it has
stopped moving.
This feature may be temporarily disabled
under some conditions. If the liftgate does
not respond to the kick, open or close the
liftgate by another method or start the
vehicle. The feature will be re-enabled.
When closing the liftgate using this feature,
there will be a short delay. The taillamps
will flash and a chime will sound.
Step away from the liftgate before it starts
moving.
Projected Logo
If equipped with this feature, a vehicle logo
will be projected for one minute onto the
ground near the rear bumper when an RKE
transmitter is detected within approximately
2 m (6 ft). The projected logo may not be
visible under brighter daytime conditions.
The projected logo shows where the kicking
motion is to take place.
The projected logo will only be available for
this RKE transmitter after it has been out of
range for at least 20 seconds.
If an RKE transmitter is again detected
within approximately 2 m (6 ft) of the
liftgate, or another hands-free operation has
been detected, the one-minute timer will be
reset.
The projected logo will not work under
these conditions:
.
The vehicle battery is low.
.
The transmission is not in P (Park).
.
Hands Free Liftgate Control is set to Off
in vehicle personalization. See VehiclePersonalization 0 114.
.
Power liftgate is turned off.
.
The vehicle remains parked for 72 hours
or more, with no RKE transmitter use or
Keyless Access operation. To re-enable,
press any button on the RKE transmitter
or open and close a vehicle door.
The projected logo will not work for a single
RKE transmitter when a transmitter:
.
Has been left within approximately 2 m
(6 ft) of the liftgate for several minutes.
.
Has been left inside the vehicle and all
vehicle doors are closed.
.
Has approached the area outside of the
liftgate five times within 10 minutes.
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features;
however, they do not make the vehicle
impossible to steal.
Vehicle Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system.
The indicator light, on the instrument panel
near the windshield, indicates the status of
the system.
Off : Alarm system is disarmed.
On Solid : Vehicle is secured during the
delay to arm the system.
Fast Flash : Vehicle is unsecured. A door, the
hood, or the liftgate is open.
Slow Flash : Alarm system is armed.
Arming the Alarm System
1. Close the liftgate and the hood. Turn off
the vehicle.
2. Lock the vehicle in one of three ways:
.
Use the RKE transmitter.
.
Use the Keyless Access system.
.

3. After 30 seconds the alarm system will
arm, and the indicator light will begin to
slowly flash indicating the alarm system
is operating. Pressing
transmitter a second time will bypass
the 30-second delay and immediately
arm the alarm system.
The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the
doors are locked with the key.
If the driver door is opened without first
unlocking with the RKE transmitter, the horn
will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started,
Q on the RKE
Keys, Doors, and Windows25
or the door is not unlocked by pressing
on the RKE transmitter during the 10-second
pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated.
The alarm will also be activated if a
passenger door, the liftgate, or the hood is
opened without first disarming the system.
When the alarm is activated, the turn
signals flash and the horn sounds for about
30 seconds. The alarm system will then
re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized
event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the
alarm if it has been activated:
.
Press K on the RKE transmitter.
.
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless
Access system.
.
Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
.
Lock the vehicle after all occupants have
left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
.
Always unlock a door with the RKE
transmitter or use the Keyless Access
system.
Unlocking the driver door with the key will
not disarm the system or turn off the alarm.
If K is pressed and the horn chirps and the
lights flash three times, the alarm was
activated while the alarm system was
armed.
If the alarm system has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0 346.
Immobilizer Operation
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 vehicle is turned off.
The immobilization system is disarmed
when the ignition is on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY and a valid transmitter is
present in the vehicle.
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 RKE
transmitters matched to an immobilizer
control unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly
matched RKE transmitter will start the
vehicle. If the transmitter 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, and the RKE transmitter appears to
be undamaged, try another transmitter. Or,
you may try placing the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket located in the center
console. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)System Operation 0 7.
If the ignition mode will not change with
the other transmitter or with a transmitter
in the transmitter pocket, your vehicle needs
service. If the ignition does change modes,
the first transmitter may be faulty. See your
dealer who can service the theft-deterrent
system and have a new RKE transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer system to
learn new or replacement RKE transmitters.
Up to eight transmitters can be
programmed for the vehicle. To program
additional transmitters, see “Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle” under RemoteKeyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 0 7.
Do not leave the transmitter or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.
