How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    With the Tahoe in Park, open Vehicle Settings > Comfort and Convenience > Hands-Free Exterior Storage Access and select Open Only.

  2. 02

    Carry the key fob and begin more than 10 feet from the rear of the vehicle.

  3. 03

    Approach to within approximately 3 feet and remain there while four chimes sound and the exterior lamps flash.

  4. 04

    Step clear as the liftgate opens; close it with the interior, liftgate or double-press key-fob button because walking away does not close it.
