Important limits

  • Keep people and objects clear of the liftgate's path and check overhead clearance.
  • Do not perform the kick while standing on an unstable or slippery surface.
  • Someone without the key may trigger the sensor when an Intelligent Key carrier is standing within range.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If the sensor does not respond, move the key closer and repeat one smooth kick directly under the center of the bumper.
  • ✓If the power liftgate main switch in the glove box is off, turn it on before retrying.
  • ✓Strong radio interference or a weak key battery can prevent key detection; move the vehicle or replace the key battery.
