HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE — IF EQUIPPED
Hands-Free Liftgate Activation Zone
To open or close the liftgate using hands-free
activation, use a straight in and out kicking
motion under the vehicle activation zone in the
general location below the rear license plate.
The activation zone is about 1.8 ft (0.5 m) from
side to side. Do not move your foot sideways or
in a sweeping motion or the sensors may not
detect the motion.
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
Ú page 207.
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.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be
turned on or off through the Uconnect system
Ú page 207.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature should be
turned off during jacking, tire changing,
manual car wash, and vehicle service.
The Hands-Free Liftgate feature can be acti-
vated by any metallic object making a similar
in-and-out motion under the rear fascia/
bumper, such as cleaning using a metal
broom.
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 reverse to the closed/open
position, provided it meets sufficient resis-
tance.
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 manually.
