back of the handle. Make sure not to touch
the lock sensor area on the front of the
handle.

Press the exterior liftgate release button

Smart Unlocks
This feature helps to prevent you from
unintentionally locking your intelligent access
key inside the passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle with the door
open and the ignition off, your vehicle will
search for an intelligent access key in the
passenger compartment after you close the
door. If your vehicle finds a key, all of the
doors will immediately unlock.
You can override the smart unlock feature
and intentionally lock the intelligent access
key inside your vehicle. To do this, lock your
vehicle after you have closed all the doors
by:
•
Using the keyless entry keypad.
• Pressing the lock button on another
intelligent access key.
• Touching the locking area on the handle
with another intelligent access key in
your hand.
When you open one of the front doors with
the ignition on, and lock your vehicle using
the power door lock, all doors will lock then
unlock.

when all of the following occur:
• All doors are closed.
• The ignition is on.

motion at a speed greater than
4 mph
(7 km/h).

Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. Three tones sound and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the liftgate.
Note:
Entering your vehicle while the liftgate
is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power liftgate close completely
before you enter your vehicle. Before driving
off, check the instrument cluster for a liftgate
or door ajar message or warning indicator.
Failure to do this could result in
unintentionally leaving the liftgate open
while driving.
When Opening
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and three tones sound. Once you
remove the obstacle, you can continue to
operate the liftgate. Hands-Free Feature
Make sure you have an intelligent access
transmitter within 3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.
1.
Move your foot under and away from the
rear bumper detection area in a
single-kick motion. Do not move your foot
sideways or the sensors may not detect
the motion. For vehicles with both the
hands-free liftgate and trailer tow, move
your foot under the bumper between the
trailer hitch and the exhaust.
2. The liftgate will power 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 strut failure.
Note: Splashing water may cause the
hands-free liftgate to open. Keep the
intelligent access key away from the rear
bumper detection area when washing your
vehicle.
KEYLESS ENTRY
SECURICODE™ KEYLESS ENTRY
KEYPAD

window. It is invisible until touched and then
it lights up so you can see and touch the
appropriate buttons.

on the keypad, the unlock function may not
work. Re-enter your entry code more slowly.
