Proper operation technique
• While at the rear of the vehicle, begin mak-ing a quick forward kicking motion.
• Raise your foot straight under the center of the rear bumper then immediately return
your foot to the ground in a continuous
motion.
• The kicking motion should be straight, smooth and consistent.
• After your kick motion is complete, step back and allow the liftgate to open/close. • Three beeps will sound and the liftgate will
begin moving within two seconds after the
kick.
CAUTION
Before performing the kicking motion,
steady your stance to prevent any loss of
balance. Also, while making the kicking
motion, take caution around hot exhaust
system parts. Otherwise, there may be
danger of injury.

closing. There may be conditions when
opening/closing the liftgate is not desired.
Keep the Intelligent Key out of range of the
liftgate, (31.5 in or 80 cm), when washing
