38 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Wind Buffeting

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 in certain open or partially open posi-
tions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized
by adjusting window opening.

REAR SWING GATE

The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display located in the
odometer area displays the word "gATE" as an indica-
tion of when the swing gate is not completely closed.
When the vehicle is not moving, and the swing gate is not
completely closed, the VF display will show the word
"gATE."

If any other active warnings are present, they will be
shown in the VF display and will also continue to cycle.
If the vehicle is moving, three single chimes will occur if
the rear swing gate is open (one chime for each complete
display cycle). After this, the VF display will continue to
sequence only (no chimes).
If the trip/reset button is pressed while the VF warnings
are being displayed, the VF display will revert back to
only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage.
The swing gate can be unlocked by using the key, remote
keyless entry (RKE) key fob, or by activating the power
door lock switches located on the front doors.
To open the swing gate, press the button on the gate
handle.
