Closing the Hands-Free Liftgate
Make sure you have the remote control within 3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.
- Stand behind your vehicle, and face the liftgate.
- Move your foot, in a single-kick motion, without pausing, under and away from the rear bumper detection area.
- The liftgate closes.
Avoid the following actions when using the hands-free opening feature:
- Making physical contact with the bumper.
- Holding your foot under the bumper.
- Sweeping your foot from side to side, or kicking at an odd angle.
Detection Zones
The detection area is on the left-hand side and right-hand side of the rear bumper area.
Note: Some vehicles may have the ability to detect the kicking motion from under the trailer hitch.
Note: Allow the power system to close the liftgate. Manually pushing the liftgate may activate the system’s obstacle detection feature and stop the power operation or reverse its direction, replicate a strut failure, or damage mechanical components.
