The Equinox EV's equipped AutoSense liftgate opens after the fob stays within about 3 feet for roughly five seconds and warning chirps; holding the latch-adjacent button at the chosen height saves that position.

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
Put the vehicle in Park, enable AutoSense and approach the rear with the key fob from outside the activation area.
- 02
Remain within approximately 3 feet as the warning chirps sound and step clear when the liftgate begins to open.
- 03
To set a height, move the open liftgate manually to the desired position with adequate overhead clearance.
- 04
Hold the button near the liftgate latch until the turn signals flash and a beep confirms the saved height.
Important limits
- The liftgate does not close merely because the driver walks away.
- A connected trailer can disable AutoSense on supported Chevrolet applications.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the fob has remained near the rear for an extended period, press a fob button or open and close a door to unmute it, then approach again from farther away.
- ✓If the liftgate opens to full height, repeat the programming hold until the confirmation signals occur.
