Step by step.
- 01
While parked, open Settings and select Vehicle.
- 02
Open Power Split Gate and switch the power function on for powered opening and closing, or off for unlatch-only behavior.
- 03
Select Keyfob and Open on Approach.
- 04
Choose whether the remote opens only the liftgate or opens both the liftgate and lower tailgate, then test the selection with clear space behind the vehicle.
Important limits
- When the power function is off, the gate only unlatches.
- Keep people and objects out of both gate sections' paths.
- The setting affects remote and approach behavior, so verify it after profile changes.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the gate unlatches but does not move, confirm the power function is on.
- ✓If only the upper gate opens, review the Keyfob selection.
- ✓If the menu is absent, the vehicle is not equipped with the power split gate.
