Remote Vehicle Start
This feature allows the engine to be
started from outside of the vehicle.
/: This button is on the RKE
transmitter for remote start.
The climate control system will
determine the best mode and
temperature setting for operation
during the remote start. Once the
vehicle is started with the ENGINE
START/STOP button, the climate
control system will begin to operate at
the last customer selected operating
mode and temperature. The rear defog
may come on during remote start
based on cold ambient conditions. The
rear fog indicator light does not come
on during remote start.
If the vehicle has auto heated or
ventilated seats they may come on
during a remote start. See Heated and
Ventilated Front Seats 044.
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. Check local
regulations for any requirements.

.Presslon the bottom of the
liftgate next to the pull cup to close.
Press any liftgate button, or the touch
pad, or
bon the RKE transmitter
while the liftgate is moving to stop it.
Pressing any liftgate button again or
pressing
btwice quickly on the RKE
transmitter restarts the operation in
the reverse direction. Pressing the
touch pad on the liftgate handle will
restart the motion, but only in the
opening direction.
Caution
Manually forcing the liftgate to
open or close during a power cycle
can damage 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
Driver Information Center (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.
Obstacle Detection Features
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,

Kick Zone Direction
To operate, kick your foot straight up
in one swift motion under the left
corner of the rear bumper at the
location of the projected logo, then
pull it 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.
1. 1 m (3 ft) Hands-Free Operation Detection Zone
2. 2 m (6 ft) Projected Logo Detection Zone
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.

f:Pull the windshield wiper lever
toward you to spray windshield
washer fluid and activate the wipers.
The wipers will continue until the
lever is released or the maximum
wash time is reached. When the
windshield wiper lever is released,
additional wipes may occur depending
on how long the windshield washer
has been activated. See Washer Fluid
0 299 for information on filling the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
{Warning
In freezing weather, do not use the
washer until the windshield is
warmed. Otherwise the washer fluid
can form ice on the windshield,
blocking your vision.
{Warning
Before driving the vehicle, always
clear snow and ice from the hood,
windshield, washer nozzles, roof,
and rear of the vehicle, including all

lamps and windows. Reduced
visibility from snow and ice buildup
could lead to a crash.
Clear snow and ice from the wiper
blades and windshield before using
them. If frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen or thaw them.
Damaged blades should be replaced.
See Wiper Blade Replacement 0303.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the
wiper motor. See Electrical System
Overload 0307.
Wiper Parking
If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are on LO, HI, or AUTO with
Rainsense turned off, they will
immediately stop.
If the windshield wiper lever is then
moved to OFF before the driver door is
opened or within 10 minutes, the
wipers will restart and move to the
base of the windshield. If the ignition is turned off while the
wipers are performing wipes due to
windshield washing or Rainsense, the
wipers continue to run until they
reach the base of the windshield.
Rainsense
If equipped with Rainsense and the
feature is turned on, a sensor near the
top center of the windshield detects
the amount of water on the
windshield and controls the frequency
of the windshield wiper based on the
current sensitivity setting.
Keep this area of the windshield clear
of debris to allow for best system
performance.
AUTO :
Move the windshield wiper
lever to AUTO. Turn the band on the
wiper lever to adjust the sensitivity.

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 103
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer shows how far the
vehicle has been driven since the trip
odometer was last reset.
The trip odometer is accessed and
reset through the Driver Information
Center (DIC). SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC) 0115.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine
speed in revolutions per minute (rpm).
For vehicles with the Stop/Start
system, when the ignition is on, the
tachometer indicates the vehicle
status. When pointing to AUTO STOP,
the engine is off but the vehicle is on
and can move. The engine could auto
start at any time. When the indicator
points to OFF, the vehicle is off.
When the engine is on, the
tachometer will indicate the engine’s
revolutions per minute (rpm). The
tachometer may vary by several
hundred rpm, during Auto Stop mode,
when the engine is shutting off and
restarting.
Fuel Gauge
When the ignition is on, the fuel
gauge indicates about how much fuel
is left in the tank.
There is an arrow near the fuel gauge
pointing to the side of the vehicle the
fuel door is on.
When the indicator nears empty, the
low fuel light comes on. There still is
a little fuel left, but the vehicle should
be refueled soon. Here are three things that some
owners ask about. None of these show
a problem with the fuel gauge:
.It takes a little more, or less fuel to
fill up than the gauge indicated. For
example, the gauge may have
indicated the tank was half full, but
it actually took a little more, or less
than half the tank's capacity to fill
the tank.
.The gauge moves a little while
turning a corner, speeding up or
braking.
.The gauge takes a few seconds to
stabilize after the ignition is turned
on and goes back to empty when
the ignition is turned off.
