Example of a proper kick
LPD2484
3-28Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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
