F EQUIPPED
To open the Hands-Free Sliding Doors, use a straight in
and out kicking motion, move your foot from side to side,
or in a sweeping motion, under the vehicle in the general
location below the door handle(s).
Activation Zone
When a valid kicking motion is completed, the sliding door
will chime, the hazard lights will flash and the sliding door
will open almost instantaneously. This assumes all
options are enabled in the Uconnect Settings.
NOTE:
To open the Hands-Free Sliding Doors requires a valid
Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the door
handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob is not within 5 ft
(1.5 m), the door will not respond to any kicks.
The Hands-Free Sliding Doors will only operate when
the gear selector is in PARK.
With every movement of the Hands-Free Sliding Doors,
an audible tone will sound and the turn signals will
flash. You can turn these alerts on or off in the
Uconnect system
Ú page 157.
If anything obstructs the power sliding side door while
it is closing or opening, the door will automatically
reverse to the closed or open position and an audible
tone will sound, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
The turn signals will flash with sliding door movements.
If the power sliding doors encounter multiple obstruc-
tions within the same cycle, the system will automati-
cally stop.
The Hands-Free Sliding Doors feature may be turned off
through Uconnect Settings
Ú page 157.

The Hands-Free Sliding Doors feature should be turned off
during jacking, tire changing, and vehicle service.
