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
Stop the vehicle, select P (Park) and keep the liftgate area clear; the engine may be off or running.
- 02
Press the inside and outside power-liftgate open/close buttons simultaneously until a chime sounds.
- 03
Slowly close the liftgate by hand.
- 04
Press the outside power-liftgate open/close button.
- 05
Allow the liftgate to open completely with its chime; full travel completes the reset.
Important limits
- Do not interrupt the final opening cycle; the reset is incomplete if the liftgate stops before fully open.
- Keep hands, people and objects clear during manual closing and powered opening.
- This reset does not repair damaged liftgate hardware or wiring.
Quick checks.
- ✓If no chime sounds, confirm Park and press the inside and outside buttons at exactly the same time.
- ✓If the liftgate stops during final opening, clear any obstruction and repeat the entire procedure.
- ✓If normal operation does not return after a complete reset, have an authorized Kia dealer inspect the system.
