How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    With the vehicle in Park and the feature enabled, carry the key fob to within approximately 3 feet of the rear and remain there for three seconds.

  2. 02

    Listen for the four warning beeps and step clear as the liftgate begins to open; move the fob farther than 3 feet away before opening if you need to cancel.

  3. 03

    To program a height, open the liftgate and move it manually to the desired position.

  4. 04

    Press and hold the button next to the liftgate pull handle until the turn signals flash and a beep confirms the saved position.

Important limits

  • Confirm overhead clearance before opening or programming the liftgate.
  • Hands-free opening does not mean hands-free closing; use one of the provided liftgate controls to close it.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If AutoSense does not trigger, confirm the vehicle is in Park, the feature is enabled and the fob is not muted or left near the rear for an extended period.
  • ✓If the height is not retained, repeat the hold until both the turn-signal flash and confirmation beep occur.
