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
Enable the Hands Free Power Back Door setting and carry the physical electronic key.
- 02
Stand approximately 19.7–27.6 in. (50–70 cm) behind the rear bumper.
- 03
Move one foot to within approximately 3.9 in. (10 cm) of the bumper's lower center without touching it, then pull the foot back within one second.
- 04
Wait for the buzzer, step clear and allow the power back door to open or close fully.
- 05
A second kick during movement stops the door; confirm final closure before leaving.
Important limits
- Do not operate where there is too little space beneath or behind the bumper, and keep people and objects clear.
- Disable the sensor around washing, towing or accessories near the rear bumper to prevent unintended operation.
- A Digital Key alone does not replace the physical electronic key for every power-back-door function.
Quick checks.
- ✓Clean snow, ice and dirt from the lower-center bumper and move away from plants, metal or electrical interference.
- ✓Pull the foot back promptly; leaving it beneath the bumper prevents the liftgate from starting.
- ✓If two beeps sound, perform one clean kick again; persistent failure after bumper impact or damage needs Lexus inspection.
