Published availability and qualifications
Verified for the 2024 U.S.-market Grecale GT mild-hybrid configuration when the optional Hands Free power liftgate and kick sensor are installed.
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
Stop the vehicle and carry the valid key fob within 3.3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.
- 02
Stand behind the center of the rear bumper with the liftgate path clear.
- 03
Move one foot straight under the bumper as if kicking, then pull it back immediately without touching the underbody.
- 04
Step clear and allow up to two seconds for the liftgate to begin moving.
- 05
Use another complete kick to stop the motion; a further kick reverses the movement.
Important limits
- Keep feet away from the hot tailpipes and do not touch the underbody.
- During a car wash, keep the fob at least 10 ft (3 m) from the sensor area because water can trigger the liftgate.
- The manual states that a trailer tow bar is not compatible with the Hands Free sensors.
Quick checks.
- ✓Confirm the fob is within 3.3 ft of the liftgate.
- ✓Repeat one complete forward-and-back kick; wiggling a foot under the bumper will not help.
- ✓Clean the central sensor area and use a button control if an obstacle or repeated anti-pinch event has disabled automatic movement.
