Hands-Free Sliding Doors — If Equipped
Hands-Free Sliding Doors
To open the Hands-Free Sliding Doors, use a 
straight in and out kicking motion under the 
vehicle in the general location below the door  handle(s). Do not move your foot sideways or in 
a sweeping motion or the sensors may not 
detect the motion.
When a valid kicking motion is completed, the 
sliding door will chime, the hazard lights will 
flash and the sliding door will open almost 
instantaneously. This assumes all options are 
enabled in the radio settings.

To open the Hands-Free Sliding Doors 
requires a valid Passive Entry key fob within 
5 ft (1.5 m) of the door handle. If a valid 
Passive Entry key fob is not within 5 ft 
(1.5 m), the door will not respond to any 
kicks.
The Hands-Free Sliding Door will only operate 
when the transmission is in PARK.
With every movement of the Hands-Free 
Sliding Doors, an audible tone will sound and 
the turn signals will flash. Refer to “Uconnect 
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa
-
tion on turning these alerts on or off.
If anything obstructs the power sliding side door 
while it is closing or opening, the door will auto -
matically reverse to the closed or open position 
and an audible tone will sound, provided it 
meets sufficient resistance. The turn signals 
will flash with sliding door movements.
If the power sliding doors encounters 
multiple obstructions within the same cycle, 
the system will automatically stop.
The Hands-Free Sliding Doors feature may be 
turned off through Uconnect Settings. Refer to 
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further 
information. The Hands-Free Sliding Doors 
feature should be turned off during jacking, tire 
changing, and vehicle service.
