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
Carry a valid smart key and stand on stable ground behind one rear corner.
- 02
Keep clear of the exhaust outlet and powered-tailgate path.
- 03
Make one backward-and-forward kicking action at about 45 degrees for one to two seconds.
- 04
Step back and monitor the tailgate after the hazard-light confirmation.
Important limits
- The motion area is near either rear corner, not necessarily the center of the bumper.
- A valid smart key must be within 47 inches of the tailgate.
- Hazard lights do not flash as confirmation when the ignition is on.
Quick checks.
- ✓Use one smooth, deliberate kick instead of a sweep or repeated waving.
- ✓Move the smart key closer to the rear corner.
- ✓Confirm the vehicle is actually equipped with Gesture Tailgate.
