Published availability and qualifications
Verified for 2025 Nautilus gasoline and hybrid configurations with a power liftgate; hands-free opening is separate optional equipment and is not required to save height.
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
Park with a clear area behind and above the Nautilus, then open the power liftgate.
- 02
Press the control button on the liftgate when it reaches the desired area to stop movement.
- 03
Manually position the stopped liftgate at the exact height if needed.
- 04
Press and hold the liftgate-mounted control until a tone confirms programming, then close and reopen to test it.
Important limits
- Only the control mounted on the liftgate programs the height.
- A liftgate position that is too low cannot be saved.
- The programmed height remains after a battery disconnect until it is reprogrammed.
Quick checks.
- ✓If no tone sounds, make sure the liftgate-mounted button is being held.
- ✓If the position is rejected, raise the liftgate and repeat.
- ✓If the gate stops or reverses unexpectedly, remove the obstruction before another powered cycle.
