The rear cargo power outlet is located in the right rear
cargo area.

Rear Cargo Power Outlet

NOTE:The rear cargo power outlet can be changed to battery
(powered at all times) by switching the power outlet right
rear quarter panel fuse in the fuse panel from fuse
location F90 to F91
Úpage 331.POWER INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 W 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 up to 150 W.
Certain video game consoles exceed this power limit, as
will most power tools.

Power Inverter

The power inverter is designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 150 W is exceeded, the
power inverter automatically shuts down. Once the
electrical device has been removed from the outlet the
inverter should automatically reset. To avoid overloading
the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices
prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
 Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
 Do not touch with wet hands.
 Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
 If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi -
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit -
tently and with greater caution.
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces -
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.
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.

NOTE:The activation zone is the same for vehicles equipped with
or without a trailer tow package.

Valid Kicking Motion

When a valid kicking motion is completed, the liftgate will
chime, the hazard lights will flash and the liftgate will open
after approximately one second, or close after
approximately three seconds. These settings can be
enabled or disabled through Uconnect Settings
Úpage 197.
NOTE:
Opening or closing the Hands-Free Liftgate requires a
valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the lift -
gate handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob is not within
5 ft (1.5 m), the liftgate will not respond to any kicks,
and will perform inhibit chimes to inform the user about
the missing key fob.
 The distance from the rear fascia/bumper to the foot
shall be no more than 8 inches (20 cm) to be recog -
nized as a valid kick. 
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be turned on or
off through the Uconnect system
Úpage 197.
 The Hands-Free Liftgate feature should be turned off
during jacking, tire changing, manual car wash, and
vehicle service.
 The Hands-Free Liftgate feature can be activated by
any metallic object making a similar in-and-out motion
under the rear fascia/bumper, such as cleaning using
a metal broom.
 The Hands-Free Liftgate will only operate when the
transmission is in PARK.
 If anything obstructs the Hands-Free Liftgate while it is
opening or closing, the liftgate will automatically
reverse to the closed/open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
 The Hands-Free Liftgate will not open with the key fob
in the cupholder or anywhere inside the vehicle.
 There are pinch sensors attached to the side of the lift -
gate opening. Light pressure anywhere along these
strips will cause the liftgate to return to the open posi -
tion.
 If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions
within the same cycle, the system will automatically
stop. If this occurs, the liftgate must be operated manu -
ally.
 The power liftgate will release, but not power open, in
temperatures below −12°F (−24°C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate
before opening the liftgate. 
If the liftgate is left open for an extended period of time
(approximately one hour), the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
NOTE:Allow the power system to open the liftgate. Manually
pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate the liftgate
obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation
or reverse its direction.
WARNING!
Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous
exhaust gases into your vehicle. 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.
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.

CARGO AREA FEATURES
Cargo Storage
The load floor is designed for a maximum load of 300 lb
(136 kg), and should be uniformly distributed over the
load floor.
Additional storage can be found under the storage lid. To
access the lower storage, lift the handle and raise the
storage lid.

Lift Load Floor Handle

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks
The cargo tie-downs, located on the cargo area sides,
should be used to safely secure loads when the vehicle is
moving. The cargo tie downs are designed for a maximum
load of 300 lb (136 kg) per tie-down.

Tie-Down Hooks

WARNING!

Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat
tether strap. In a sudden stop or accident, a tie-down
could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose.
A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors
provided for child seat tethers.
 To help protect against personal injury, passengers
should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes only,
not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat
belts.
The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle handling.
To avoid loss of control resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits described
on the label attached to the left door or left door center
pillar.
 Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.
 Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear axle.
Too much weight or improperly placed weight over or
behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to sway.
 Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the
seatback. This could impair visibility or become a
dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.

WARNING!

6. Repeat steps 2-5 for the second crossbar in the
desired position.

Installed Crossbars

WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Anything improperly secured to the roof rack,
crossbars, or the roof itself can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting in collisions,
personal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying anything on your roof or
roof rack.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO
NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars installed. The load should be secured and
placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protective layer between the
load and the roof surface.
 To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not
exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150
lb (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and appropriately secure the load and any
protective layer placed between the load and the roof
surface.
 Load should always be secured to crossbars first,
with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple -
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps and
thumb wheels frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached. Long loads that extend over the windshield, such as
wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large frontal
area should be secured to both the front and rear of
the vehicle.
 Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully
when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
CAUTION!
