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 vehicle on and in Park, select Vehicle Settings > Comfort and Convenience > Hands-Free Exterior Storage Access > Open Only.
- 02
Carry the key fob and begin more than 10 feet from the rear of the Acadia.
- 03
Approach to within about 3 feet of the liftgate and remain there while the chimes sound and exterior lights flash.
- 04
Stay in the zone through the fourth chime to let the liftgate open, or cancel with the liftgate button, touchpad or by stepping away.
Important limits
- AutoSense opens the liftgate but does not automatically close it when the driver walks away.
- A properly connected trailer disables AutoSense; GMC recommends disabling the feature before attaching a trailer.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the fob has remained within 10 feet for more than two minutes, unmute it by pressing a fob button, using an exterior handle switch, or opening and closing a door.
- ✓After a successful opening, move at least 10 feet away for more than 20 seconds before attempting another approach.
