Step by step.

Park, carry a valid Passive Entry key within 5 ft (1.5 m), and confirm the liftgate path is clear.
- 02
Enable Hands Free Power Liftgate in the Uconnect Doors & Locks settings.
- 03
At the rear center below the license plate, move one foot straight under the bumper and back out.
- 04
Withdraw your leg and step away; do not sweep sideways.
- 05
Monitor the full opening or closing movement and repeat one deliberate kick only if a stop/reversal is intended.
Important limits
- Keep all people and cargo clear of the liftgate path.
- Turn the feature off for jacking, tire changes, manual car washes and service.
- Repeated operation with the engine off can discharge the 12-volt battery.
Quick checks.
- ✓Move the valid fob within 5 ft of the liftgate.
- ✓Use a straight in-and-out motion; a sideways sweep may not be detected.
- ✓If power operation faults, close the liftgate manually as directed to reset and obtain service if the fault repeats.
