MOTION-ACTIVATED LIFTGATE
(if so equipped)
The liftgate can be opened/closed using a
foot kicking motion when it is locked or un-
locked. Two sensors along the rear bumper
(center area) can detect a forward kicking
motion
B. The Intelligent Key must be pres-
ent within 3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate to allow
using the motion-activated feature to
open/close the liftgate. NOTE:
To achieve proper motion activation, kick
within the kicking zone
A2 ft (60 cm). Im-
proper kicking either from side to side
Cor
at angles
Dwill 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 mo-
tion, take caution around hot exhaust sys-
tem parts. Otherwise, there may be danger
of injury. While positioned at the rear of the vehicle
(center) 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
validate the kick motion. Kicking again within
