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 Intelligent Key and stand behind the closed liftgate near the center of the rear bumper.
- 02
Move one foot straight forward under the bumper center and immediately pull it straight back in one continuous motion.
- 03
Step away from the liftgate and listen for three beeps.
- 04
Allow up to about two seconds for movement to begin and stay clear of the liftgate path.
Important limits
- Do not pause with a foot under the bumper, touch the bumper or sweep side to side.
- Keep the Intelligent Key away from the rear bumper while washing or servicing the vehicle to reduce unintended activation.
- A tow hitch can affect sensor operation and may require the applicable towing-logic control unit described by INFINITI.
Quick checks.
- ✓If nothing happens, center the motion and retry with a faster straight in-and-out kick while the key is within about 31.5 in.
- ✓If three beeps sound but the liftgate does not move, step farther back and remove any obstruction.
- ✓If manual power-liftgate controls work but motion sensing does not, check for bumper blockage, towing equipment interference or a weak Intelligent Key battery.
