2. Reach under the hood from outside the vehicle,
move the safety latch to the left and lift the hood.
Safety Latch Location
NOTE:
•
Vehicle must be at a stop and the gear selector
must be in PARK.
•
Before lifting the hood, check that the wiper arms
are not in motion and not in the lifted position.
•
While lifting the hood, use both hands.
•
You may have to push down slightly on the hood
before pushing the safety latch.
CAUTION!
Be sure to disengage the rod and secure it in closed
position before closing the hood. Damage may occur.
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.
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.
CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage:
•
Before closing hood, make sure the hood prop rod
is fully seated into its storage retaining clips.
•
Do not slam the hood to close it. Use a firm down-
ward push at the center front edge of the hood to
ensure that both latches engage. Never drive your
vehicle unless the hood is fully closed, with both
latches engaged.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
LIFTGATE
POWER LIFTGATE — IF EQUIPPED
The power liftgate may be opened by push-
ing the liftgate release handle
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 lift-
gate. 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
liftgate 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 over-
head 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.
When the liftgate button on the key fob is pushed two
times, the turn signals will flash to signal that the lift-
gate is opening or closing (if Flash Lamps with Lock is
enabled in the Uconnect settings), and the liftgate
chime will be audible. The chime can be turned on or
off through the Uconnect Settings
