Door Locks
{Warning
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
.Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. The doors can be
unlocked and opened while the vehicle
is moving. The chance of being thrown
out of the vehicle in a crash is
increased if the doors are not locked. (Continued)

.Press8on the driver door. The driver
door must either be unlocked or locked
without the security armed.
.Press the touch pad on the underside of
the liftgate handle after unlocking all
doors. A locked vehicle can be opened if
the RKE transmitter is within 1 m (3 ft) of
the touch pad.
.Presslon the bottom edge of the
liftgate to the left of the latch to close.
Press any liftgate button, the touch pad,
or
bon the RKE transmitter while the
liftgate is moving to stop it. Pressing any
liftgate button 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,
manually close the liftgate which will allow
normal power operation functions to
resume.

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. 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. To view
available settings from the infotainment
screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Comfort
and Convenience.
.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 five minutes.
If the logo is continuously on for
five minutes, then the projected logo will
not turn back on for an hour.
