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 vehicle key and stand centered behind the rear bumper.
- 02
Move the lower leg quickly toward the bumper sensor area and pull the foot away immediately.
- 03
For opening, watch for turn-signal feedback and step clear as the liftgate rises.
- 04
For Easy Close, repeat the same quick motion and listen for the continuous confirmation chime.
- 05
Walk away with every valid key removed from the area near the liftgate so closing can begin.
Important limits
- Do not leave a valid vehicle key near the liftgate during Easy Close; the guide requires all valid keys to leave the area.
- Use a quick in-and-out motion rather than holding a foot under the bumper.
- Stand clear of the moving liftgate and monitor its path.
Quick checks.
- ✓If nothing happens, confirm the key is with you and repeat the motion at the center of the bumper.
- ✓If Easy Close chimes but does not close, remove every valid key from the liftgate area and walk farther away.
- ✓If the turn signals do not confirm the motion, reposition directly behind the middle of the bumper.
