A valid passive key must be within one of
the three external detection ranges. These
are approximately 5 ft (1.5 m) from the
front door handles and the liftgate.

The system could not function if:
•

The passive key remains stationary for
about a minute.

•

The vehicle battery has no charge.

•

The passive key battery has no charge.

•

The passive key frequencies are
jammed.

•

The passive key is too close to metal
objects or electronic devices, for
example keys or a cell phone.

If you open the driver door first, all
other doors remain locked. You can
unlock all of the other doors from inside
your vehicle using the power door lock
control on the driver door. You can
unlock individual doors by pulling the
interior door handles on those doors.

•

If you open any other door first, all
other doors and the liftgate unlock.

direction indicators flash. Do not touch the
lock sensor on the outer surface of the door
handle.

Keep the door handle clean to make sure
the system correctly operates.

After unlocking the doors with the unlock
sensor, there is a brief delay before you can
lock your vehicle. When the delay period
is over, you can lock the doors again,
provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.

Locking the Doors

Lock sensors are on the top of the exterior
front door handles.

E357643

Touch a lock sensor once to lock your
vehicle and arm the alarm. The direction
indicators flash.

vehicle remains unlocked.

After locking the doors with the lock
sensor, there is a brief delay before you can
unlock your vehicle. This delay lets you

KEYLESS ENTRY – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

Why does the keyless entry system not
function?

If the system does not function it may
be limited. See

Keyless Entry

Limitations

(page 101). If the system

still does not function use the remote
control or the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.

Why can I not lock my vehicle?

If you electronically lock your vehicle
with a rear door open, the system
searches for a passive key inside your
vehicle after you close the last door. If
the system detects a key, all doors
unlock indicating that a key is inside.
Your vehicle locks if another passive
key is within the detection range after
you close the last door.

Why does the passive key not work?

The system deactivates passive keys
left inside your vehicle when you lock
it. You cannot switch the ignition on
using a deactivated passive key. Press
the unlock button on the remote
control to reactivate a passive key.

POWER RUNNING BOARD
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

In extreme climates,

excessive ice buildup may occur, causing
the running boards not to deploy. Make
sure that the running boards have
deployed, and have finished moving
before attempting to step on them. The
running boards will resume normal
function once the blockage is cleared.

WARNING:

Switch off the running

boards before jacking or placing any
object under your vehicle. Never place
your hand between the extended running
board and your vehicle. A moving running
board may cause injury.

Do not use the running boards, front and
rear hinge assemblies, running board
motors, or the running board underbody
mounts to lift your vehicle when jacking.
Use proper jacking points.

The running boards could move slower in
cold temperatures.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there unwanted noise coming
from my power running boards?

The power running board mechanism
could trap debris such as mud, dirt,
snow, ice and salt. If this happens, set
the running boards to the deployed
position. Then, wash the system, in
particular the front and rear hinge
arms, with a high-pressure car wash
wand.

Make sure that you switch the windshield
wipers off before entering a car wash.

If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See

Blades

(page 112). If that does not resolve

the issue, install new wiper blades. See

Replacing the Front Wiper Blades

HEADLAMPS –
TROUBLESHOOTING

HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there condensation in the
headlamps?

Headlamps 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.

How much condensation is
acceptable?

The presence of a fine mist, for
example no streaks, drip marks or
large droplets. A fine mist covers less
than 50% of the lens.

How long may it take for the
acceptable condensation to be
cleared?

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

How much condensation is
unacceptable?

A water puddle inside the lamp.
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

What should I do if unacceptable
condensation is present?

Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Why do my headlamps turn off when I
have them switched on when I switch
my vehicle off?

The battery saver turns the headlamps
off after a short period of time after
you switch your vehicle off.
