HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE
To open or close the liftgate using hands-free activa-
tion, use a straight in and out kicking motion under the
vehicle activation zone in the general location between
the park sensors. The activation zone is about 1 ft
(0.3 m) on each side from the centerline of the vehicle.
A sweeping motion under the activation zone can also
be used for hands-free activation to open or close the
liftgate.
NOTE:
The activation zone is the same for vehicles equipped
with or without a 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
approximately three seconds. These settings can be
enabled or disabled through Uconnect Settings
page 182.
NOTE:
•
Opening or closing the Hands-Free Liftgate requires
a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
the liftgate handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob is
not within 5 ft (1.5 m), the liftgate will not respond
to any kicks, and will perform inhibit chimes to
inform the user about the missing key fob.
•
The distance from the rear fascia/bumper to the
foot shall be no more than 8 inches (20 cm) to be
recognized as a valid kick.
•
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be turned on or
off through the Uconnect system
page 182.
•
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature should be turned
off during jacking, tire changing, manual car wash,
and vehicle service.
