Lock The Vehicle
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the lift-
gate travel path is clear. Make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched before driv-
ing away.NOTE:
• The liftgate will not power open or close if
the gear selector is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets sufficient
resistance.
• There are pinch sensors attached to the
side of the liftgate opening. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause the
liftgate to return to the open position.
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop. If this oc-
curs, the liftgate must be opened or closed
manually.
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below −22° F (−30° C) or tem-
peratures about 150° F (65° C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from the
liftgate before pushing any of the power
liftgate switches.• If the liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate
functionality.
• Gas props support the liftgate in the open
position. However, because the gas pres-
sure drops with temperature, it may be
necessary to assist the props when opening
the liftgate in cold weather.
• Before driving off, check the instrument
cluster for a liftgate or door open message
or warning indicator. Failure to do this
could result in unintentionally leaving the
liftgate open while driving.
• If your liftgate is power closing and you put
the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will continue
to power close. However, vehicle movement
may result in a detection of an obstruction.
• If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed with the power liftgate is opening,
the liftgate motor will disengage to allow
manual operation.
• If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed while the power liftgate is closing,
the liftgate will reverse to the full open
position.

Power Inverter — If EquippedThere is a 230 Volt inverter outlet located on
the back of the center console to convert DC
current to AC current. This outlet can power
cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power. Certain high-
end game consoles will exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.
To turn on the power inverter outlet, simply
plug in the device. The outlet automatically
turns off when the device is unplugged.
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating is
exceeded, the power inverter will automati-
cally shut down. Once the electrical device
has been removed from the outlet the invertershould automatically reset. To avoid over-
loading the circuit, check the power ratings
on electrical devices prior to using the
inverter.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the
receptacles.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and failure.

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in
the instrument panel together with a dedi-
cated message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative
and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative
to the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read care-
fully in all cases. Always refer to the informa-
tion in this chapter in the event of a failure
indication. All active telltales will display first
if applicable. The system check menu may
appear different based upon equipment op-
tions and current vehicle status. Some tell-
tales are optional and may not appear.
Red Warning Lights
— Air Bag Warning Light
This light indicates a fault with the air bag,
and will turn on for four to eight seconds as a
bulb check when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This light
will illuminate with a single chime when afault with the air bag has been detected, it
will stay on until the fault is cleared. If the
light is either not on during startup, stays on,
or turns on while driving, have the system
inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
— Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions,
including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there
is a problem with the anti-lock brake system.
If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master cylinder
reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hy-
draulic system malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been detected by
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condi-
tion has been corrected. If the problem is
related to the brake booster, the ABS pump
will run when applying the brake, and a brake
pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.

WARNING!
Rear Cross Path Detection (RCP) is not a
back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming
vehicle in a parking lot situation. Drivers
must be careful when backing up, even
when using RCP. Always check carefully
behind your vehicle, look behind you, and
be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind
spots before backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only (Default Setting)
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode, thesystem will respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is pres-
ent. Whenever an audible alert is requested,
the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/
Chime mode, the BSM system will provide a
visual alert in the appropriate side view mirror
based on a detected object. If the turn signal
is then activated, and it corresponds to an
alert present on that side of the vehicle, an
audible chime will also be sounded. When-
ever a turn signal and detected object are
present on the same side at the same time,
both the visual and audible alerts will be
issued. In addition to the audible alert the
radio (if on) will also be muted.
NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system shall
respond with both visual and audible alerts
when a detected object is present. Wheneveran audible alert is requested, the radio vol-
ume is reduced. Turn/hazard signal status is
ignored; the RCP state always requests the
chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off there will
be no visual or audible alerts from either the
BSM or RCP systems.
NOTE:
The BSM system will store the current oper-
ating mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each
time the vehicle is started the previously
stored mode will be recalled and used.
Blocked Sensor
If the system detects degraded performance
due to contamination or foreign objects, a
message will warn you of a blocked sensor
and the warning indicators in side view mir-
rors will be illuminated. The warning indica-
tors will remain illuminated until blockage
clearing conditions are met. First clear the
fascia area around the sensors of the block-
age. After removing the blockage, reset the
system by cycling the ignition from ON to
OFF and then back ON.
