Safety Latch Location
CLOSING THE HOOD
In one continuous motion, pull down on the front edge of
the hood with moderate force until the angle is below the
crossover point (where the gas props are no longer
resisting) and let the hood continue to fall closed from its
own inertia.
LIFTGATE
POWER LIFTGATE — IF EQUIPPED
The power liftgate may be opened by pushing
the liftgate release handle
Ú page 21 or by
pushing the liftgate button on the key fob.
Push the liftgate button on the key fob twice
within five seconds to open or close the power liftgate.
NOTE:
When using the liftgate button on the key fob to open
the liftgate while the vehicle is locked, only the liftgate
will unlock leaving the other doors to remain locked.
Closing the liftgate will not relock the liftgate. The lock
button on the key fob, or the Passive Entry lock button
must be pushed to relock.
If the electronic liftgate handle is used to open the lift-
gate and all the doors unlock, the liftgate and vehicle
doors must be locked again. Use the key fob, Passive
Entry lock button, or the power door lock switches on
the front door panels.
The power liftgate may also be opened or closed by
pushing the liftgate button located on the front overhead
console. If the liftgate is fully open, it can be closed by
pushing the liftgate button located on the left rear trim
panel. If the liftgate is in motion, pushing the button again
will reverse the liftgate.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your
vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision.
Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.
