LOCKING AND UNLOCKING

Your vehicle has an intelligent electronically
controlled door system that is in constant
communication with overall vehicle systems.

When you lock your vehicle using the lock
switch on each door interior trim panel, or
by using the keyless entry keypad or the lock
sensor on each door exterior trim panel, the
exterior door handle switches do not release
the doors. This helps to secure your vehicle
and prevent unauthorized entry. Also, when
your vehicle reaches a speed greater than
12 mph (20 km/h) the exterior door handle
switches do not release the doors.

If the airbags deploy or the fuel pump shutoff
switch activates, all interior and exterior
unlock switches do not unlock your door for
six seconds. This helps to secure the doors
in the event of a crash. After six seconds, all
switches reset and you can open the doors
using the interior and exterior unlatch
switches.

Door Lock Indicator

An LED on each front door window trim
illuminates when you lock the doors. It
remains on for 2 to 5 seconds after you
switch the ignition off.

Door Lock Switch Inhibitor

When you electronically lock your vehicle,
the door lock switches and the interior
luggage compartment release switch do not
operate after 20 seconds. You must unlock
your vehicle with the remote control or
keyless entry keypad, or switch the ignition
on, to restore function to these switches.
You can switch this feature on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 127).

Activating Intelligent Access

The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft
(1 m) of the door or luggage compartment
you intend to lock or unlock.

Gently depress the switch inside the exterior
door handle to unlock and open the door.

E295770

Locking sensors are on both front doors.
When the intelligent access key is within 3 ft
(1 m) of your vehicle you can lock your
vehicle by touching the locking sensor below
the keyless entry keypad. Doing so causes
a lock symbol to illuminate on the door
window trim indicating your vehicle is locked
and you can no longer release the door using
the exterior door handle switches. Touching
the locking sensor when the intelligent
access key is not within 3 ft (1 m) causes the
lock status to display, but does not lock the
doors.

Swipe across the locking sensor to display
the current lock status of your vehicle. The
lock status also displays when you open a
door or when the lock status changes.

Note: You cannot use the locking sensors
to unlock your vehicle.

Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access
Keys

This feature helps to prevent you from
locking your intelligent access key inside
your vehicle’s passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.

When you electronically lock your vehicle
with any door open, the transmission is in

searches for an intelligent access key inside
your vehicle after you close the last door. If
the system finds a key, all of the doors will
immediately unlock and the horn will sound
twice, indicating that a key is inside.

You can override the smart unlock feature
and intentionally lock the intelligent access

closed all the doors by:
•

Using the keyless entry keypad.

•

Pressing the lock button on another
intelligent access key.

•

Touching the locking sensor on the door

POWER LIFTGATE

WARNING: It is extremely dangerous

to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of
a vehicle. In a crash, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seatbelts. Make
sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat
and properly using a seatbelt. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.

WARNING: Make sure that you fully

close the liftgate to prevent exhaust fumes
from entering your vehicle. If you are
unable to fully close the liftgate, open the
air vents or the windows to allow fresh air
to enter your vehicle. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.

WARNING: Keep keys out of reach

of children. Do not allow children to
operate or play near an open or moving
power liftgate. You should supervise the
operation of the power liftgate at all times.

Note: Make sure that you close the liftgate
before operating or moving your vehicle,
especially in an enclosure, like a garage or
a parking structure. This could damage the
liftgate and its components.

Note: Do not hang anything, for example a
bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This
could damage the liftgate and its
components.

The liftgate only operates with the
transmission in park (P).

If there is a problem with the open or close
request, a tone sounds for one of the
following reasons:

•

The ignition is on and the transmission
is not in park (P).

•

The battery voltage is below the
minimum operating voltage.

•

The liftgate is not fully closed and your
vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph
(5 km/h).

If the liftgate starts to close after it has fully
opened, this indicates there may be
excessive weight on the liftgate or a possible
strut failure. A repetitive tone sounds and
the liftgate closes under control. If the liftgate
continues to close after opening, have the
system checked by an authorized dealer.
Remove any excessive weight from the
liftgate.

Opening and Closing the Liftgate

WARNING: Make sure all persons

are clear of the power liftgate area before
using the power liftgate control.

any of the following:
•

Pressing the liftgate control button.

•

Pressing the liftgate button on the remote
control twice.

•

The new open liftgate height is recalled
when the power liftgate is opened. To
change the programmed height, repeat the
above procedure. Once you open the power
liftgate, you can manually move it to a
different height.

Note: The system recalls the new
programmed height until you reprogram it,
even if you disconnect the battery.

When operating the power liftgate after you
have programmed a lower height than fully
open, you can fully open the liftgate by
manually pushing it upward to the maximum
open position.

Obstacle Detection

Note: Entering your vehicle while the liftgate
is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power liftgate close completely
before you enter your vehicle. Before driving
off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate
or door ajar message or warning indicator.
Failure to do this could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open
while driving.

When Closing

The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. A tone sounds and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the liftgate.

When Opening

The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and a tone sounds. Once you
