Published availability and qualifications
The hands-free power liftgate is listed for the 2024 U.S.-market XT4 Premium Luxury and Sport. Verify the individual vehicle's equipment list and window label before relying on hands-free operation.
Know what kind of control to look for.
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.
- 01
Carry the recognized key fob and approach the rear of the parked XT4 until the logo projection appears.
- 02
Kick straight toward the underside of the vehicle over the projected logo, coming close to but not contacting the bumper.
- 03
Pull the foot back immediately so the full in-and-out motion takes about one second; do not sweep sideways.
- 04
Step away when the lamps flash and chime sounds, then let the liftgate complete its movement.
Important limits
- Keep people and objects clear of the liftgate path and do not kick or touch the bumper.
- Hands-free operation requires a recognized key fob within sensor range.
- The base Luxury model's power liftgate should not be assumed to include hands-free operation.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the liftgate does not respond, bring the key fob within about 3 feet and repeat a straight one-second kick.
- ✓If the logo is not visible, clean the underside sensor area; the kick sensor may still operate even when the projection is temporarily off.
- ✓If repeated attempts fail, use the key-fob or exterior liftgate control and verify the feature on the equipment list.
