Operating the Liftgate
(Wagon Models)
You may unlock the liftgate by perform-
ing any of the following:
• Press the door unlock button on your
remote keyless entry (RKE) transmit-
ter twice.
• Press the liftgate button on your RKE
transmitter.
• Press the interior door unlock switch.
• Enable the automatic door unlocking
feature. (Tailgate will unlock when the
automatic door unlocking feature is
enabled.)
• Insert the ignition key into the rear lift-
gate key cylinder button. Turn the key
clockwise to unlock the liftgate.
Once the liftgate is
unlocked, press the
rear liftgate key
cylinder button to
open the liftgate.
See Section 2 of your
Owner Manual.
Key “Stuck” in OFF Position
If your ignition key seems stuck in the
OFF position, be sure you are using the
correct key, and be sure it’s inserted all
the way. If it is, turn the steering wheel
to the left and right (even if it is locked)
while you turn the key hard — but turn it
only with your hand. Using a tool to
force it could break the key or the igni-
tion switch. If none of this works, then
your vehicle needs service.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
Securing the Fuel Cap
To reinstall the fuel cap after filling your
tank, turn the fuel cap to the right (clock-
wise) until you hear at least three clicks.
The vehicle diagnostic system can
determine if the cap has been left off or
improperly installed. This would allow
fuel to evaporate into the atmosphere
and may cause the malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
