UTLETS

Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp)

power outlets that can be used to power cellular

phones, small electronics and other low powered

electrical accessories. The power outlets are

labeled with either a “key” or a “battery” symbol to

indicate how the outlet is powered. Power outlets

labeled with a key symbol are powered when the

ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position, while the

outlets labeled with a battery symbol are

connected directly to the battery and powered at

all times.

NOTE:

All accessories connected to the battery

powered outlets should be removed or turned

off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the

battery against discharge.

Do not exceed the maximum power of

160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the

160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded the

fuse protecting the system needs to be

replaced.

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs

only. Do not insert any other object in the power

outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow

the fuse. Improper use of the power outlet can

cause damage not covered by your New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

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.). Eventu

-

ally, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle's

battery will discharge sufficiently 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 intermittently and with greater

caution.

After the use of high power draw accessories,

or long periods of the vehicle not being started

(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle

must be driven a sufficient length of time to

allow the generator to recharge the vehicle's

battery.

UFFETING

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception

of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound

in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting

with the windows down, or the sunroof (if

equipped) in certain open or partially open

positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be

minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear

windows open, open the front and rear windows

together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting

occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof

opening to minimize the buffeting or open any

window.

WARNING!

There is no anti-pinch protection when the

window is almost closed. To avoid personal

injury be sure to clear your arms, hands, fingers

and all objects from the window path before

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 posi

-

tion, 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 occurs, the liftgate

must be operated manually.

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.

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.

Gas props support the liftgate in the open position.

However, because the gas pressure drops with

temperature, it may be necessary to assist the

props when opening the liftgate in cold weather.

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.
