Hands-free Liftgate Operation*
1. Make sure you have your intelligent access
transmitter within 3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate.
2. Move your foot under and back from the rear
bumper, similar to a kicking (front-to-back) motion.
Do not move your foot sideways or the sensors
may not detect the motion.
Note: In vehicles equipped with the towing package,
you must kick your foot between the trailer hitch and
the exhaust system. Do not kick under the hitch.
Obstacle Detection*
When you use the power open or close feature and the liftgate detects a \
problem, warning tones sound and the liftgate stops.
The Liftgate Does Not Power Open or Close When
It detects an object in its opening or closing path.
The ignition is on and the transmission is not in park (P).
You are traveling at speeds at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
Note: Entering the vehicle while the liftgate is closing could cause the
vehicle to bounce and activate obstacle detection.
Setting the Liftgate Open Height
Once you open the power liftgate, you can move it manually to a
desired height. If the previously programmed liftgate height is lower
than the fully opened position, you can manually push it upward.
To Program a New Height
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Stop the liftgate movement by pressing the control button on the
liftgate when it reaches your desired height. Once the liftgate stops
moving, you can also move it manually to your desired height.
3. Press and hold the control button on the liftgate until you hear a tone,\

indicating that your programming of the liftgate height is successful.
The next time you use the power feature to open the
liftgate, it opens to its newly programmed height.
To change the programmed height, repeat the process above.
