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
With the tailgate open, press the Walk Away Close button on the left side of the interior cargo area.
- 02
Collect the items you need and make sure nobody and nothing is in the closing path.
- 03
Walk out of the 1-meter area directly behind the tailgate within 30 seconds of pressing the button.
- 04
Wait for the tailgate to lower, latch and lock, then verify it is fully closed before leaving.
Important limits
- Do not rely on automatic closing when a person, pet or object is near the opening. The doors also lock only when the vehicle's Automatic Lock feature is turned on. Always confirm the tailgate latched.
Quick checks.
- ✓If it does not start closing, press the cargo-area Walk Away Close button again and exit the 1-meter rear zone within 30 seconds.
- ✓If the tailgate stops or reverses, clear the opening and closing path before retrying.
- ✓If the control is missing, verify that the MDX has the Advance Package or the genuine-accessory system.
