This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.

Stop the vehicle, select Park and clear people and objects from the liftgate path.
- 02
Carry the valid fob when the doors are locked and stand centered about 3 ft (1 m) behind the liftgate.
- 03
Move one foot straight under the bumper in the activation zone below the license plate, then withdraw it.
- 04
Step back and monitor the full powered movement.
- 05

Important limits
- A sideways or sweeping foot motion may not be detected.
- Keep clear of the liftgate after issuing the command.
- Never drive with the liftgate open because exhaust can enter the cabin.
