REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the
doors or liftgate from distances up to approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) using a hand-held Key Fob
with RKE transmitter. The RKE transmitter does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate
the system.
NOTE:
Inserting the Key Fob with RKE transmitter
into the ignition switch disables the system
from responding to any button presses from
that RKE transmitter. Driving at speeds
5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the
system from responding to all RKE transmit-
ter buttons for all RKE transmitters.
To Unlock The DoorsPress and release the UNLOCK button on the
RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door
or twice to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights
will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The
illuminated entry system will also turn on.
Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go™ — If Equipped”
under “Things To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” for further information.Remote Unlock Sequence
This feature lets you program the system to
unlock either the driver’s door or all doors, on
the first press of the UNLOCK button on the
RKE transmitter. To change the current setting,
proceed as follows:
•
For vehicles equipped with the Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC), refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable
Features)” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
Flash Lamps With Lock
This feature will cause the turn signal lights to
flash when the doors are locked or unlocked
with the RKE transmitter. This feature can be
turned on or off. To change the current setting,
proceed as follows:

•If liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate
functionality.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
• The power liftgate buttons will not oper-
ate if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below 22°F (30°C) or tem-
peratures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from
the liftgate before pressing any of the
power liftgate switches. •
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 suffi-
cient resistance.
• There are also pinch sensors attached to
the side of the liftgate. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause
the liftgate to return to the open position.
• The power liftgate must be in the full open
position for rear liftgate close button on
the left rear trim, near the liftgate opening
to operate. If the liftgate is not fully open,
press the Liftgate button on the Key Fob
to fully open the liftgate, and then press it
again to close.
• If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
•
If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is opening, the liftgate motor
will disengage to allow manual operation.
•If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop and the lift-
gate must be opened or closed manually.
• If your liftgate is power closing and you
put the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will
continue to power close. However, ve-
hicle movement may result in a detection
of an obstruction.
WARNING!
•Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your ve-
hicle. You and your passengers could be
injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate
closed when you are operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.

senger side convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than they really are. Rely-
ing too much on your passenger side convex
mirror could cause you to collide with an-
other vehicle or other object. Use your inside
mirror when judging the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the passenger side convex
mirror. Some vehicles will not have a convex
passenger side mirror.
