door is opened. If the control is moved to the driver’s side position, the

BULB REPLACEMENT
Headlamp Condensation
The headlamps are vented to equalize pressure. When moist air enters
the headlamp(s) through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur. This condensation is normal and will clear
within 45 minutes of headlamp operation.
Replacing exterior bulbs
Check the operation of all the bulbs frequently.
Using the right bulbs
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized “D.O.T.” for North America and an
“E” for Europe to ensure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb burn
time.

provided controls.
•overhead console button

A faster chime indicates there is an excessive load on the liftgate (snow,
bike rack, etc.) or a possible strut malfunction. If the excessive load is
removed and you still have a faster chime, have the system serviced
immediately by your authorized dealer.
WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate controls to open or close the
liftgate.
Keep the keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow children
to play on or near an open or moving power liftgate.
Exercise care, when power opening or closing the PLG in a garage or
other enclosed area with a low ceiling or close to a wall/garage door. The
PLG could be damaged from the contact.
Do not attempt to manually force the PLG to travel faster than the
power system will permit.
When power operating the PLG at temperatures below 32° F (0° C), the
PLG may stop about 5 inches (12.7 cm) from the full open position. The
PLG can be fully opened by pushing it upward to the maximum open
position.
