Doors

trunk

Warning
Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle if it is driven with the liftgate or trunk/hatch open, or with any objects that pass through the seal between the body and the trunk/hatch or liftgate. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.

If the vehicle must be driven with the liftgate or trunk/hatch open:

Close all of the windows.
Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel.
Adjust the climate control system to a setting that brings in only outside air and set the fan speed to the highest setting. See “Climate Control Systems” in the Index.
If the vehicle is equipped with a power liftgate, disable the power liftgate function.

Manual Liftgate
To unlock the liftgate, press K on the power door lock switch or press K on the remote key twice within five seconds.

Press on the driver’s door.
Press X twice quickly on the remote key.

Press the touchpad on the rear of the trunk above the license plate when all doors are unlocked.

The trunk can be opened while the vehicle is locked by pressing the touchpad above the license plate while the remote key is within 1 m (3 ft) of the rear of the vehicle.

Close the trunk by pulling on the handle. Do not use the handle as a tie-down. Do not press the touchpad while closing the trunk; this will cause the trunk lid to be unlatched. The trunk has an electric latch. If the vehicle has lost power or the battery is disconnected, the trunk will not open. If this happens, enter the rear compartment by folding the rear seats down, and pull the emergency release handle to open the trunk.

Emergency Trunk Release Handle

Caution
Do not use the emergency trunk release handle as a tie-down or anchor point when securing items in the trunk as it could damage the handle.

There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release handle on the trunk lid. This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle to open the trunk from the inside.

Vehicle Security
This vehicle has theft-deterrent features; however, they do not make the vehicle impossible to steal.

Vehicle Alarm System
This vehicle has an anti-theft alarm system

The indicator light, on the instrument panel near the windshield, indicates the status of the system.

Off: The alarm system is disarmed.
On Solid: The vehicle is secured during the delay in arming the system
Fast Flash: The vehicle is unsecured. A door, the hood, or the liftgate is open.
Slow Flash: The alarm system is armed.

Arming the Alarm System

Close the liftgate and the hood. Turn off the vehicle.
Lock the vehicle in one of three ways:
- Use the remote key.
- Use the Keyless Access system.
- With a door open, press the inside Q.
After 30 seconds the alarm system will arm, and the indicator light will begin to slowly flash indicating the alarm system is operating. Pressing Q on the remote key a second time will bypass the 30-second delay and immediately arm the alarm system.

The vehicle alarm system will not arm if the doors are locked with the key. If the driver door is opened without first unlocking with the remote key, the horn will chirp and the lights will flash to indicate pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing K on the remote key during the 10-second pre-alarm, the alarm will be activated. The alarm will also be activated if a passenger door, the liftgate, or the hood is opened without first disarming the system. When the alarm is activated, the turn signals flash and the horn sounds for about 30 seconds. The alarm system will then re-arm to monitor for the next unauthorized event.

Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the alarm if it has been activated:

Press K on the remote key.
Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless Access system.
Start the vehicle.

To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

Lock the vehicle after all occupants have left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with the remote key or use the Keyless Access system.

Unlocking the driver door with the key will not disarm the system or turn off the alarm.

How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If K is pressed the horn chirps and the lights flash three times, the alarm is activated while the alarm system is armed. If the alarm system has been activated, a message will appear on the Driver Information Center (DIC).

Power Sounder, Inclination Sensor, and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard theft-deterrent system features, this system may also have a power sounder, inclination sensor, and intrusion sensor. The power sounder provides an audible alarm that is distinct from the vehicle’s horn. It has its own power source and can sound an alarm if the vehicle’s battery is compromised. The inclination sensor can set off the alarm if it senses the movement of the vehicle, such as when a tire is removed. Make sure the vehicle’s alarm is not armed prior to any jacking. The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle interior and can activate the alarm if it senses unauthorized entry into the vehicle’s interior. Do not allow passengers or pets to remain in the vehicle when the intrusion sensor is activated.

Before arming the theft-deterrent system and activating the intrusion sensor:

Make sure all doors and windows are completely closed.
Secure any loose items such as sunglasses.
Make sure there are no obstructions blocking the sensors in the front overhead console.

Inclination and Intrusion Sensor Disable Switch

Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system. The system does not have to be manually armed or disarmed. The vehicle is automatically immobilized when the vehicle is turned off. The immobilization system is disarmed when the ignition is on or in accessory mode and a valid remote key is present in the vehicle. The security light, in the instrument cluster, comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system. The system has one or more remote keys matched to an immobilizer control unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly matched remote key will start the vehicle. If the remote key is ever damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle. When trying to start the vehicle, the security light may come on briefly when the ignition is turned on. If the engine does not start and the security light stays on, there is a problem with the system. Turn the ignition off and try again. If the vehicle will not change ignition modes (accessory mode, on, off), and the remote key appears to be undamaged, try another remote key. Or, you may try placing the remote key in the remote key pocket located in the center console. Do not leave the remote key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.

The mirror(s) may move from their tilted position when:

The vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), or remains in R (Reverse) for about 30 seconds.
The vehicle is turned off.
