OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE BLIND SPOT MONITORING • The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper fascia, to detect Highway licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle. • The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system warning light, located in the outside mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle moves into a blind spot zone. • The BSM system can also be configured to sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the radio to notify you of objects that have entered the detection zones. • Refer to your owner's manual on the DVD for further details. LIFTGATE FLIPPER GLASS • The liftgate flipper glass is unlocked when the liftgate is unlocked. To open the flipper glass, push up on the window switch located on the liftgate. When flipper glass is unlatched it will not completely raise, lift up on flipper glass handle to open. NOTE: If a malfunction to the liftgate latch should occur, an emergency liftgate latch release, located on the inside of the vehicle, can be used to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the liftgate trim panel. WARNING! • Driving with the liftgate or flipper glass open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. You and your passengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the flipper glass closed when you are operating the vehicle. • To avoid injury, stand back when opening. Glass may automatically rise. 31
