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

The system has one or more
keyless entry transmitters that are
matched to an immobilizer control
unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly
matched keyless entry transmitter
will start the vehicle. If the keyless
entry transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start your
vehicle.
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 vehicle will not change
ignition modes (ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, OFF), and the
keyless entry transmitter appears to
be undamaged, try another keyless
entry transmitter. Or, you may
try placing the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket located in the
center console. See“No Remote
Detected” underKey and Lock
Messages on page 5‑36. If the ignition modes will not
change with the other transmitter,
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 keyless entry transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
keyless entry transmitters. Up to
eight keyless entry transmitters
can be programmed for the vehicle.
To program additional transmitters,
see
“Programming Transmitters
to the Vehicle” Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation on
page 2‑4.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{WARNING
A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.

Recalling RKE Memory Positions
(Memory Remote Recall)
The Memory Remote Recall feature
can recall the driver seat, outside
mirrors, and adjustable pedals,
if available, to previously stored
RKE Memory positions when
entering the vehicle.
Every time the ignition is
placed in OFF, the positions
of the driver seat, outside mirrors,
and adjustable pedals, if available,
are automatically stored to the RKE
transmitter that was used to start
the vehicle. These positions are
called RKE Memory positions and
may be different than the previously
mentioned Button Memory positions
saved to the“1”or“2” buttons. To automatically recall RKE
Memory positions, unlock the driver
door with the RKE transmitter, and
open the driver door. On vehicles
with Keyless Access, opening the
driver door when an RKE transmitter
is present will activate the RKE
Memory recall. If the driver door
is already open, pressing the
RKE transmitter
Kbutton will also
activate the RKE Memory recall.
The driver seat, outside mirrors,
and pedals, if available, will move to
the previously saved RKE Memory
positions.
This feature is turned on or off using
the vehicle personalization menu.
See “Memory Remote Recall”
under Vehicle Personalization on
page 5‑40 for more information. To stop recall movement, press
one of the memory, power mirror,
or power seat controls, or the
adjustable pedal switch, if available.
If something has blocked the
driver seat and/or the adjustable
pedals, if available, while recalling
a memory position, the recall
may stop. Remove the obstruction;
then press and hold the appropriate
manual control for the memory item
that is not recalling for two seconds.
Try recalling the memory position
again by opening the driver door
and pressing the RKE transmitter
K
button. If the memory position is
still not recalling, see your dealer
for service.

Passenger Sensing
System
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system for the right front
passenger position. The passenger
airbag status indicator will be visible
on the overhead console when the
vehicle is started.
United States
Canada and MexicoThe words ON and OFF, or the
symbol for on and off, are visible
during the system check. If you
are using remote start, if equipped,
to start the vehicle from a distance,
you may not see the system
check. When the system check is
complete, either the word ON or
OFF, or the symbol for on or off, will
be visible. See
Passenger Airbag
Status Indicator on page 5‑18.
The passenger sensing system
turns off the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted
side impact airbag under certain
conditions. The driver airbags and
the roof-rail airbags are not affected
by the passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system
works with sensors that are part
of the right front passenger seat. The sensors are designed to detect
the presence of a properly-seated
occupant and determine if the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat‐mounted side impact airbag
should be enabled (may inflate)
or not.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
secured in a rear seat in the correct
child restraint for their weight
and size.
We recommend that children be
secured in a rear seat, including:
an infant or a child riding in a
rear-facing child restraint; a child
riding in a forward-facing child seat;
an older child riding in a booster
seat; and children, who are large
enough, using safety belts.
