Standards of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
•

This device may not cause harmful
interference.

•

This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.

WARNING:

Changes or

modifications not expressively approved
by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment. The term "IC:" before the

Vehicles with the remote start feature will
have a greater range. One of the following
could cause a decrease in operating range:
•

Weather conditions.

•

Nearby radio towers.

•

Structures around the vehicle.

•

Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.

Other short distance radio transmissions,
for example amateur radios, medical
equipment, wireless headphones, remote
controls and alarm systems can also use
the radio frequency used by your remote
control. If the frequencies are jammed, you
will not be able to use your remote control.
You can lock and unlock the doors with the
key.

Note:

Make sure to lock your vehicle before

leaving it unattended.

Note:

If you are in range, the remote control

will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.

Note:

The remote control contains

sensitive electrical components. Exposure
to moisture or impact may cause permanent
damage.

MANUAL 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.

Note:

Be careful when opening or closing

the liftgate in a garage or other enclosed
area to avoid damaging the liftgate.

Note:

Do not hang anything, for example

a bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This

ANTI-THEFT ALARM

Alarm System

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorized access to your vehicle
through the doors, luggage compartment
and the hood.

Triggering the Alarm

Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:

•

If someone opens a door, cargo area
or the hood without a valid key or
remote control.

If the alarm is triggered, the horn will sound
for 30 seconds and the hazard warning
flasher will flash for five minutes.

Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.

Arming the Alarm

To arm the alarm, lock your vehicle. See

Doors and Locks

(page 58).

Disarming the Alarm

Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking
the doors with the key and switching the
ignition on within 12 seconds, or by
unlocking the doors or the cargo area with
the remote control.

Police Perimeter Alert System

(If

Equipped)

Note:

The Police Perimeter Alert System is

primarily intended to monitor moving
pedestrians but also detects objects like
vehicles and bikes. Fast vehicles, stationary
objects and small objects like birds may also
be ignored.

Note:

The Police Perimeter Alert System

feature does not function outside of Park
(P) or with any door open.

The system uses sensors to monitor
detected objects moving near your parked
vehicle.

Detected moving objects are displayed as
moving dots on the systems instrument
cluster display.

E298029

Once the system detects approaching
objects crossing the selected range
perimeter, the vehicle sounds a tone, and
may roll up the windows and lock the
doors.

The system may also activate the rear view
camera if the display is in the Information
and Entertainment screen.

Switching the Police Perimeter
Alert On and Off

E298031

Security

While the vehicle is running and in Park (P),
press and release the button located on

Note:

When the Police Idle feature is active,

windows will not automatically roll up.

Note:

When window or door locking is

the instrument cluster.

Note:

When Low mode is active, window

or door locking setting is not available.

The Police Perimeter Alert system has
three range settings Low, Medium or High
via the menu in the instrument cluster
display. Use the steering wheel controls to
adjust the settings when active.

Object Detection

Note:

A pedestrian near large obstructions

such as vehicles or walls may not be
detected until the person moves away from
the obstruction.

Note:

Sensor reflections from stationary

objects may cause false objects to briefly
appear on the Police Perimeter Alert System
display.

Note:

Sensor obstructions such as; dirt,

mud, precipitation, repair compound,
stickers, graphics, bumper guards, trailers,
or bicycle/cargo racks - in front of the
sensors can cause system sensing
degradation.

The Police Perimeter Alert system uses
sensors located behind the rear bumper
on both sides of your vehicle. The sensors
will perform best if the vehicle is parked in
an open area without large obstructions
or walls nearby.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Condensation in Lamp Assemblies

Exterior lamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure.

Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.

Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.

Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•

The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).

•

A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.

Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
•

A water puddle inside the lamp.

•

Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

Dark Car Feature

(If Equipped)

The Dark Car feature may disable the
following features:
•

Welcome/farewell strategy.

•

•

Note:

In markets where daytime running

feature does not disable the daytime
running lamps.

Switching the Backlighting Off

The Dark Car feature allows you to switch
the cabin backlighting off, this state can
be reached by:

Switch the lighting control to the lamps
off position.
