Hands-Free Liftgate – If Equipped
To open or close the liftgate using hands-free activation, use a gentle straight forward and back
kicking motion under the vehicle activation zone in the general location below the liftgate door
handle. Do not move your foot sideways or in a sweeping motion or the sensors may not detect
the motion.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the Trailer Tow Package, the hands-free activation zone(s) for the
Power Liftgate will be located on the left and right side of the receiver. Use the same gentile
straight kicking motion under either activation zone to open/close the Hands-Free Liftgate.
To open or close the Hands-Free Liftgate requires a valid Passive Entry RKE Key Fob within 3 ft
(1 m) of the door handle. If a valid Passive Entry RKE Key Fob is not within 3 ft (1 m), the liftgate
will not respond to any kicks.
1. Move your foot straight forward and back under the rear bumper activation zone in a gentle
single-kicking motion. Do not move your foot sideways or the sensors may not detect the
motion.
2. The liftgate powers open or close.
NOTE:
Allow the power system to open the liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the liftgate may activate
the system’s obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation or reverse its direction.
Manually interfering with the liftgate motion may also replicate a gas strut failure.
NOTE:
Splashing water may cause the Hands-Free Liftgate to open. Keep the RKE Key Fob away from
the rear bumper detection area when washing your vehicle.
