AUTOMATIC UNLOCK DOORS ON EXIT —
I
F EQUIPPED

The Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit feature unlocks all
of the vehicle doors when any door is opened. This will occur
only after the gear selector has been placed into the PARK
position, after the vehicle has been driven (the gear selector
has been placed out of PARK and all doors closed).

The Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit feature will not
operate if there is any manual operation of the door locks
(lock or unlock).
This feature can be turned on or off in the Uconnect
system
Úpage 157.
MANUAL SLIDING SIDE DOOR
The sliding door may be opened from the inside or the
outside. Pull outward on the exterior handle to open the
sliding door. The sliding door inside handle functions by
rocking forward and back. Rocking the handle backwards
opens the door and rocking forward releases the hold
open latch in order to close the door.
NOTE:If equipped with power sliding doors, using the manual
door handle will activate the power opening/closing
function. Allow the door to open or close fully on its own,
without forcing it.

Side Door Handle And Lock Functions

To keep your door operating properly, observe the
following guidelines:
 Always open the door smoothly.
 Avoid high impacts against the door stop when opening
the door. This is very important when your vehicle is
parked on an incline as the door will slide faster in the
downhill direction.
 There is a hold-open latch that is activated when the
sliding door is fully opened. This latch will keep your
sliding door open on any incline. To close the sliding
door after the hold-open latch is activated, you must
rock the inside handle forward or pull outward on the
exterior handle.
Always make sure that the sliding door is fully latched
anytime the vehicle is in motion.
NOTE:The left side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel
door is open. If attempted, a message will appear in the
instrument cluster display, and the door will automatically
return to the closed position.

LED Indicator Status:
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a device.
 Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
 Red Light/Flashing: Internal error or foreign object is
detected.
Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:
 The wireless charging pad will not work if any of the
four doors or the liftgate are open, even if the engine is
running.
 Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is
connected to a wired charger.
 The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.
 iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with soft -
ware to protect the device from overheating. When the
software is active, the rate of charge is slowed down to
protect the device.
 Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so
that its charging parts connect with the charging coils
of the system. Movement of the phone during charging
may prevent or slow the rate of charge.
 Having multiple applications open on the phone while
charging will reduce the charging efficiency, and may
even shut down an application that is actively running
(i.e. Apple CarPlay®). This may also cause the phone to
overheat.
 Wireless chargers may implement certain methods to
prevent the phone from overheating during charging
such as slowing down the rate of charge. In certain instances, the device may shut down for a brief period
of time (when the device reaches a certain tempera
-
ture). If this happens, it does not mean there is a fault
with the wireless charing pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.
WINDOWS
POWER WINDOWS
The window switches on the driver’s door trim panel
control all of the door windows.

Driver’s Power Window Controls

The driver may lock out the rear power windows by
pushing the bar control just below the power window
controls.

Window Lockout Switch

The window switches will operate only when the ignition is
in the ACC or ON/RUN position and during power
accessory delay.
NOTE:Power Window controls will also remain active for up to
10 minutes after the ignition has been placed in the OFF
position, depending upon the accessory delay setting.
Opening a front door will cancel this feature.
There is a single control on the front passenger’s door trim
panel which operates the passenger door window and a
set of controls that lock and unlock all doors. The controls
will operate only when the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN
position and during power accessory delay.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it. Doing so can cause
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Placing
the fob in close proximity of the charging pad blocks the
fob from being detected by the vehicle and prevents the
vehicle from starting.

ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open
or partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear
windows open, open the front and rear windows together
to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the
sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is
almost closed. To avoid personal injury be sure to clear
your arms, hands, fingers and all objects from the
