OPERATION
12V Accessory Battery
General Information
Hybrid vehicles rely on the HV
System (HV battery, HV inver-
tor, and HV generator) to provide
power for many vehicle systems,
such as the power train, HVAC
and others. Since this vehicle
does not rely as heavily on a
12V system like a conventional
vehicle would, the 12V accessory
battery’s power is reduced. Once
running, the vehicles onboard
systems will maintain the 12V
accessory battery. Refer to the
OEM manual for reference the
12V accessory battery.
Guidelines for Charge Retention
12V Accessory Battery
Items that will help prevent 12V
accessory battery drain, when not
in use:
Do not leave key fob in vehicle.
Do not leave any door open.
The conversion systems functions
are powered by the 12V accessory
battery and can impact the charge
of the 12V accessory battery.
Battery Maintenance Guidelines
& Recharging
In case of 12V accessory battery
charge loss, adhere to all OEM
precautions and procedures when
recharging the 12V battery.
12V accessory battery precau-
tions, location, maintenance
guidelines and recharging pro-
cedures have not be effected
by conversion. Refer to OEM
manual.

Page 16
Keep clear of area
in which power door
operates. Failure to
do so may result in
bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Note: If a control switch is
pressed or the outside door
handle is pulled while the power
sliding door is opening or clos-
ing, the door will reverse direction
to the fully closed or fully open
position.
Note: If the power door is ob-
structed while opening or closing,
the door will reverse direction,
provided it meets sufcient resis-
tance.
Note: If the inside door handle
is pulled in the same direction
the power sliding door is operat-
ing, the door will continue in that
direction. If the inside handle is
pulled in the opposite direction
while the power sliding door is
opening or closing, the door will
reverse direction.
Keep clear of the area in which
the power door operates. Ensure
door travel path is clear. Per-
sonal injury or property damage
may occur during power door
operation. Be sure the door is
fully closed and latched before
driving.
Ramp Access Sliding Door
Press and hold the remote
keyless entry transmitter or
press and release one of
the interior control switches
to activate the power sliding
door (control switches de-
tailed on pages 12-14). When
a control switch is activated,
the door will open and the
Open sequence of functions
will continue (rear of vehicle
kneels and ramp deploys).
Once the Open sequence of
functions is complete, press
and release a control switch
to close the door. The door
will close after the ramp stows
and the vehicle raises (com-
pleting the Close sequence of
functions.

OPERATION
Power Door Manual Operation
The passenger side power sliding
door can be operated manually.
Unlock the passenger sliding
door and put the Main switch in
the Off position. Open the slide
door from inside or outside using
the OEM door handles. Always
open the door smoothly. Avoid
using excessive force when
opening and closing the door.

Page 18
OPERATION
Automatic Kneel System
Kneeling is the lowering motion of
the electrohydraulic rear suspen-
sion. The kneel system lowers
the rear of the vehicle. Lowering
the rear of the vehicle reduces
the slope of the ramp.
When the electronic control sys-
tem is activated to start the Open
functions, the kneel system starts
to lower the rear of the vehicle
at the same time the power side
door starts to open. When the
Close functions are activated, the
rear of the vehicle starts to raise
at the same time the ramp begins
to stow.
Kneel On/Off Feature
A kneel on/off feature is incor-
porated in the electronic control
system. This feature provides
the option of kneeling the vehicle
when operating the power door
and power ramp. The Ramp and
Kneel On/Off switch turns the
kneel system on and off. The
3-position rocker switch must be in
the center position in order for
the kneeling system to be acti-
vated. The Ramp and Kneel On/
Off switch is located on the center
console. See page 15.
Note: If the vehicle is in the
kneeled position (with ramp
deployed) and the transmission
is disengaged from Park “P,” the
ramp will stow and the vehicle will
raise.
Do not leave your vehicle in the
kneeled (lowered) position for
extended periods of time.
In the event the kneel system is
not functioning properly, have the
kneel system repaired immedi-
ately. Do not drive with the rear of
the vehicle in the lowered position.
Attempting to do so will result in
an extremely rough and unstable
ride.
Contact your sales representative
or call 1-800-488-0359. One of
our Customer Care representa-
tives will direct you to an autho-
rized service center.
