WARNING: Do not open or close
the sliding doors when your hands are
near the tracks or rollers. When the rear doors are fully open, make
sure that you do not step on the cable or
mechanism at the base of the door
aperture. This could damage the sliding
door and its components.
KEYLESS ENTRY
General Information
The system will not function if:
•
The vehicle battery has no charge.
• The passive key battery has no charge.
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The door handle is not clean.
Note: If the system does not function, you
will need to use the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate your
vehicle without the use of a key or remote
control. Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately
5 ft
(1.5 m) from the front door handles and
the liftgate.
Note: The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone.
Passive Key
Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked
using the passive key. You can also use the
passive key as a remote control to lock and
unlock your vehicle. See
Locking and
Unlocking (page 66).
Locking Your Vehicle The locking sensors are on the front door
handles.
Touch a locking sensor once to lock your
vehicle and arm the alarm.

For vehicles with double locking, touch a
locking sensor twice within three seconds
to double lock your vehicle and arm the
alarm.
Note:
When locking your vehicle, do not
grip the door handle.
Note: Your vehicle remains locked for
approximately one second. When the delay
period is over, you can open the doors again,
provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.
Note: Your vehicle does not automatically
lock. If you do not touch a locking sensor
your vehicle remains unlocked.
Two short flashes of the direction
indicators confirms that all the doors and
the liftgate have been locked and that the
alarm has been armed.
At the Liftgate
The liftgate cannot be closed and will
reopen if the passive key is located inside
the luggage compartment with the doors
locked.
Note: If a second valid passive key is
located within the liftgate detection range,
the liftgate can be closed.
Unlocking Your Vehicle Pull a front exterior door handle to unlock
and open the door. Do not touch the lock
sensor on the front of the handle.
One long flash of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors and the liftgate
have been unlocked and that the alarm
has been disarmed. Note:
A valid passive key must be located
within the detection range of that door.
Unlocking Only the Driver's Door
You can program the system so that only
the driver door is unlocked. See Locking
and Unlocking (page 66).
If you program the unlocking function so
that only the driver door unlocks, the
following occurs:
• If the driver ’s door is the first door
which is opened, the other doors will
remain locked. All the other doors can
be unlocked from inside your vehicle
by pressing the unlock button located
on the driver's and front passenger's
door. You can unlock individual doors
by pulling the interior door handles on
those doors.
• If the front passenger's door is the first
door which is opened, all the doors and
the liftgate will be unlocked.
Disabled Keys
Any keys left inside your vehicle interior
when it is locked will be disabled.
You cannot use a disabled key to switch
the ignition on or start the engine.
You must enable all passive keys again in
order to use them. To enable all your
passive keys, unlock your vehicle using a
passive key that has not been disabled or
the remote control unlocking function. All
passive keys will then be enabled if you
switch the ignition on or you start your
vehicle with a valid key.
Note: You can still start your vehicle when
the passive key is in the back-up position.
See
Push Button Ignition Switch (page
140).

ANTI-THEFT ALARM
Alarm System (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have one of the following
alarm systems:
• Perimeter Alarm.
• Anti-Theft Alarm with Interior and
Inclination Sensors.
Perimeter Alarm
The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorized access to your vehicle
through the doors, luggage compartment
and the hood. Interior Sensors
The interior sensors are in the overhead
console.
When you lock your vehicle and arm the
alarm, the sensors are designed to detect
any movement inside your vehicle.
Note:
Do not cover the interior sensors.
Inclination Sensors
When you lock your vehicle and arm the
alarm, the sensors are designed to detect
an attempt to raise your vehicle, for
example to remove a wheel or to tow it
away.
Triggering the Alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:
• If someone opens a door, the liftgate
or the hood without a valid key or
remote control.
• If you switch the ignition on without a
valid key.
• If the interior sensors detect movement
within your vehicle.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the hazard
warning flashers will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to carry out one of
the above will trigger the alarm again.
Full Guard and Reduced Guard
Full Guard
Full guard is the standard setting.
In full guard, the interior sensors are on
when you arm the alarm.
Note: Do not arm the alarm with full guard
if passengers, animals or other moving
objects are inside your vehicle.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Single wipe.
A
Intermittent wipe.
B
Normal wipe.
C
High-speed wipe.
D
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 285). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades
(page
285).
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass or
damage the wiper blades. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield. Intermittent Wipe
Short wipe interval.
A
Intermittent wipe.
B
Long wipe interval.
C
Use the rotary control to adjust the
intermittent wipe interval.
Note: When your vehicle speed increases,
the interval between intermittent wipes may
decrease.
AUTOWIPERS
Autowipers uses a rain sensor in the area
around the interior mirror. The wipers
operate when the rain sensor detects
water on the windshield in front of it. The
rain sensor continues to monitor the
amount of water and adjusts the speed of
the wipers.
Note: The wipers remain in a slightly raised
position during operation and only return to
the park position a short time after the rain
sensor detects no water on the windshield.
You can switch autowipers on or off in the
information display.
Note: If you switch autowipers off in the
information display, the windshield wipers
operate in intermittent mode.

High sensitivity.
A
Autowipers on.
B
Low sensitivity.
C
Move the wiper lever upward to the first
position to switch autowipers on.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a large amount
of water on the windshield. When you
select high sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a small amount
of water on the windshield.
Note: Keep the outside of the windshield
clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and
the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or
insects hit the windshield. If you leave autowipers on, it may not
operate when you switch the ignition on
during freezing temperatures. This is
because the system has deactivated the
rain sensor to prevent damage to the
windshield wipers. Defrost the windshield
before reactivating the rain sensor. You
can reactivate the rain sensor by moving
the rotary control or switching autowipers
off and on.
Note:
Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Wet or winter weather conditions could
cause unexpected wiping or smearing.
To keep the windshield clear:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on
the windshield.
• Switch autowipers off.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades (page
285).
