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 a valid smart key and stand on stable, non-slippery ground behind the vehicle.
- 02
Choose one of the monitored areas near a rear corner and keep clear of the exhaust outlet.
- 03
Make one smooth backward-and-forward kicking action at about a 45-degree angle for one to two seconds.
- 04
Move back from the powered tailgate path and watch for the hazard-light confirmation when the ignition is off.
- 05
Monitor the tailgate through its full powered movement.
Important limits
- The gesture must be made near a monitored rear corner, not by waving a foot under the center of the bumper.
- The smart key must be within 47 inches of the tailgate.
- The hazard lights do not flash as confirmation when the ignition is on.
Quick checks.
- ✓Use one deliberate one-to-two-second kick rather than repeated sweeping motions.
- ✓Move the smart key closer to the rear of the vehicle.
- ✓Confirm Gesture Tailgate equipment is present on the vehicle build.
