MOTION-ACTIVATED LIFTGATE (if so
equipped)
The liftgate can be opened/closed using a foot
kicking motion when it is locked or unlocked. Two
sensors along the rear bumper (center area) can
detect a forward kicking motion
B. The Intelli-
gent Key must be present within 3 ft (1 m) of the
liftgate to allow using the hands free feature to
open/close the liftgate. NOTE:
To achieve proper motion activation, kick
within the kicking zone
A2 ft (60 cm) .
Improper kicking either from side to side
Cor at anglesDwill not open/close the
liftgate.
CAUTION
Before performing the kicking motion,
steady your stance to prevent any loss of
balance. Also, while making the kicking
motion, take caution around hot exhaust
system parts. Otherwise, there may be
danger of injury.
LPD2513
Example of a proper kick
LPD2484
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-25

While positioned at the rear of the vehicle (cen-
ter) at arms’ length distance away, begin making
the forward kicking motion. Kick the foot under
the rear bumper then immediately return the foot
back to standing position. The kicking motion
should be straight, smooth and consistent. Your
leg does not need to touch the bumper surface
but be within 3/4 inch (2 cm) to 4 inches (10 cm)
of the bumper surface. After your kick motion is
completed step back to allow the liftgate to
open/close. The liftgate should begin moving
within 1–2 seconds after the kick. This time is
needed to verify the Intelligent Key and to validatethe kick motion. Kicking again within this time
frame (1–2 seconds) could cause the liftgate to
reverse or stop.
WARNING
Prevent unintentional liftgate
opening/closing. There may be conditions
when opening/closing the liftgate is not
desired. Keep the Intelligent Key out of
the range of the liftgate (3 ft or 1 m) , when
washing or working around the back of
the vehicle.
CAUTION
Interference or malfunction can be caused
by parking in close proximity to radio or
satellite towers.

tions. You could be burned or seriously
injured if it is misused or mishandled.
Always stop the engine and do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks
near the vehicle when refueling.
● Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank
after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off
automatically. Continued refueling may
cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel
spray and possibly a fire.
● Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap
can result in a serious malfunction and
possible injury. It could also cause
the
Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) to come on. ●
Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle.
● Do not fill a portable fuel container in
the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable fuel
containers:
– Always place the container on the ground when filling.
– Do not use electronic devices when filling.
– Keep the pump nozzle in contact with the container while you are fill-
ing it.
