Power Liftgate
Power Liftgate Operation
Your vehicle has a power liftgate. The vehicle
must be in PARK (P) to power open or close the
liftgate.
The liftgate must be completely closed to power
open or the liftgate must be completely open
to power close.
The taillamps will ash and a chime will sound at
the beginning of each power operation cycle.
{CAUTION:
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.
104

Notice:If you open the liftgate without
checking for overhead obstructions such as a
garage door, you could break the liftgate or
the liftgate glass. Always check to make sure
the area above the liftgate is clear before
opening it.
To open and close the liftgate, press and hold
the power liftgate button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter (RKE) until the liftgate starts
moving. Press the RKE button a second
time during liftgate operations to reverse that
operation. SeeRemote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation on page 96for more

The liftgate can also be power closed by pressing
the power liftgate button next to the liftgate
latch. Press the button a second time during
liftgate operation to reverse that operation. The
power liftgate may be temporarily disabled
under extreme temperatures or low battery
condition. If this occurs, the liftgate can still be
operated manually.

Power Windows
{CAUTION:
Leaving children, helpless adults, or pets
in a vehicle with the windows closed is
dangerous. They can be overcome from
extreme heat in warm or hot weather and
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke.
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many
reasons, children or others could be badly
injured or even killed. They could operate
the power windows or other controls or
even make the vehicle move. The
windows will function with the keys in the
ignition and they could be seriously
injured or killed if caught in the path of a
closing window. Do not leave keys in a
vehicle with children.
When there are children in the rear seat
use the window lockout button to prevent
unintentional operation of the windows.The power window
switches are located on
the armrest near
each window.
Press the switch to the rst position to lower the
window to the desired level. Pull the switch
up to raise the window.
Your vehicle has Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
that allows you to use the power windows once the
ignition has been turned off. For more information,
seeRetained Accessory Power (RAP) on
page 118.

Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the visor down and lift the cover. The light will

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
The security light is
located on the
instrument panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Lock the door using the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter or the power door
lock switch.
2. Close all the doors. The security light will
illuminate. It should go off within approximately
30 seconds.
If a door or a liftgate is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter, the horn will sound and the
lamps will ash for up to 30 seconds.
112

The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key, use the manual door lock
or if the liftgate is ajar. It activates only if you use
the RKE transmitter or the power door lock.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident do the
following:
The vehicle should be locked with the door
key or the manual door lock after the doors
are closed if you don’t want to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the
RKE transmitter. Pressing the unlock button
on the RKE transmitter disarms the
theft-deterrent system. Unlocking a door any
other way while the system is armed will
activate the alarm when a door or the liftgate
is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the
driver’s door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by using the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter, or by starting the vehicle with
a valid key.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the window,
then get out of the vehicle, keeping the
door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door
open, lock the vehicle using the power door
lock switch or the RKE transmitter and
close the door. Wait approximately 30 seconds
until the security light goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the
manual lock and open the door. The horn
will sound and the exterior lamps will ash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver’s
door with your key, using the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter or by starting the car with a
valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check
to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be
blown. To replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 455. If the fuse does not
need to be replaced, you may need to have your
vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
