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 the key fob within about 3 feet and make one straight, one-second in-and-out kick over the projected Buick tri-shield without touching the bumper.
- 02
Step back after the lamps and chime warn that the liftgate is moving.
- 03
To program a lower opening position, manually move the open liftgate to the desired safe height.
- 04
Press and hold the button next to the liftgate latch until the turn signals flash and a chime confirms the setting.
- 05
Select the 3/4 setting where fitted, close the gate and reopen it to verify the stored height.
Important limits
- The catalog groups Encore GX under the Encore model family, but this procedure is specifically sourced for the 2024 Encore GX.
- Do not set the opening height so low that the vehicle rejects it or so high that it can strike a ceiling.
- Electronic obstacle detection helps reverse movement but does not replace checking the liftgate path.
Quick checks.
- ✓If a kick is ignored, move the key fob closer and use a straight one-second motion within about 5 inches of the bumper.
- ✓If no flash or chime confirms the custom height, raise the liftgate slightly and repeat the press-and-hold step.
- ✓If the gate opens fully instead of to the saved height, confirm the interior selector is at 3/4 rather than MAX.
