Hood Release Lever
2. Lift the hood slightly. Move the underhood latch from right to left to release the hood. Hood Latch Location
3. Raise the hood completely. The operation is assisted by the addition of two gas props
which hold it in the open position.

NOTE:

Do not tamper with the props and assist the
hood while lifting it.
Use both hands to lift the hood. Before lifting,
check that the windshield wiper arms are not
raised from the windshield or in operation.
Also, ensure that the vehicle is stationary and
that the Electric Park Brake is engaged.
CLOSING THE HOOD
To close, lower the hood to approximately
16 inches (40 cm) from the engine compartment
then let it drop. Make sure that the hood is
completely closed and fully latched.

NOTE:
Since the hood is equipped with a double locking
system, one for each side, you must check that it
is closed on each side.
POWER LIFTGATE
Unlocking of the liftgate is electrically operated
and is deactivated when the vehicle is in motion.
If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is
closing or opening, the liftgate will automatically
reverse to the closed or open position, provided it
meets sufficient resistance.
OPENING
The liftgate may be released in several ways:
Pressing the liftgate release button on the key
fob twice within five seconds
Pushing the external liftgate release switch
(when the liftgate is unlocked)
Lifting the interior liftgate release button on
the driver’s door panel trim
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving
your vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it
could open when the vehicle is in motion and
block your vision. Failure to follow this warning
could result in serious injury or death.

Customizing The Liftgate Opening Height
To avoid difficulties in tight spaces, you can set
the height at which the liftgate opens to.
To customize the liftgate opening position, follow
the steps below:
1. Open the liftgate manually and move it to theposition that you want the liftgate to open to.
2. Press and hold one of the closing buttons for at least five seconds (successful program -
ming is indicated by the turn signals flashing
three times).
The liftgate is now programmed to open to the set
position.
This function can be selected on the radio
system.
To set the liftgate opening height, refer to the
Information and Entertainment System Owner’s
Manual Supplement for further information.
Hands-Free Liftgate — If Equipped
To operate the Hands-Free Liftgate system:
1. If the doors are locked, the system must detect the key fob near the liftgate.
2. If the doors are unlocked, the system does not have to detect the key fob near the lift -
gate.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle, in the center and about 3 feet (1 m) from the liftgate.
4. Move your foot under the bumper, simulating a kick. When you have completed this move -
ment, withdraw your leg. To activate the lift -
gate, both sensors must detect your leg. Hands Free Liftgate Activation Zone
If it is closed, the Hands-Free Liftgate unlocks and
opens completely, and with another movement of
the foot, it stops. A further movement of the foot
reverses the direction and closes the liftgate
completely, if you do not stop it again.
If it is open, with a movement of the foot, the
Hands-Free Liftgate closes completely, and with
another movement of the foot, it stops. If the
liftgate is stopped, another movement of the foot
will reverse the direction and open it completely.

NOTE:
To conserve the battery charge, avoid performing
this operation repeatedly with the engine off.
You can activate/deactivate the Hands-Free
Liftgate on the radio system by pushing the MENU
button to select the Main menu, and selecting the
following items:
1. Settings
2. Doors And Locks
3. Automatic Liftgate Opening
LIFTGATE INITIALIZATION

NOTE:
Automatic operation of the liftgate must be initial -
ized again in case of faulty liftgate operation.
Proceed as follows:
1. Close all the doors and the liftgate.
2. Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. Push the unlock button on the key fob.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
You and your passengers could be injured by
these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when
you are operating the vehicle.
If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are closed,
and the climate control blower switch is set
at high speed. Do not use the recirculation
mode.
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
