license plate. Do not move your foot sideways or in a
sweeping motion or the sensors may not detect the motion.
NOTE: Activation zone is the same for vehicles equipped
with and without trailer tow package.
When a valid kicking motion is completed, the liftgate will
chime, the hazard lights will flash and the liftgate will open
after approximately one second, or close after approxi-
mately three seconds. This assumes all options are enabled
in the radio.
NOTE:
Opening or closing the Hands-Free Liftgate requires a
valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the door
handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob is not within 5 ft
(1.5 m), the liftgate will not respond to any kicks.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be turned on or off
in Uconnect Settings. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information. The Hands-Free
Liftgate feature should be turned off during Jacking, Tire
Changing, Manual Car Wash, and Vehicle Service.
NOTE: The Hands-free liftgate feature can be activated by
any metallic object making a similar in-and-out motion
under the rear bumper, such as cleaning using a metal
broom.
NOTE:
The Hands-Free Liftgate will only operate when the
transmission is in PARK.
If anything obstructs the Hands-Free liftgate while it is
opening or closing, the liftgate will automatically re-
verse to the closed/open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
There are pinch sensors attached to the side of the
liftgate opening. Light pressure anywhere along these
strips will cause the liftgate to return to the open
position.
If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions
within the same cycle, the system will automatically
stop. If this occurs, the liftgate must be operated manu-
ally.
The power liftgate will release, but not power open, in
temperatures below −12° F (−24° C). Be sure to remove
any buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate before
opening the liftgate.
If the liftgate is left open for an extended period of time,
the liftgate may need to be closed manually to reset
power liftgate functionality.
