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 the Intelligent Key and stand centered behind the Armada with room to step back.
- 02
Move one foot quickly in and out beneath the left side of the rear bumper.
- 03
Return your foot to the ground immediately; do not pause under the bumper or sweep side to side.
- 04
Listen for three beeps, step back, and let the power liftgate open without touching it.
Important limits
- Keep people, cargo, and overhead obstacles clear of the liftgate's travel path.
- Use a stable stance and never kick from a slippery, muddy, or sloped surface.
- Keep the key away from the rear bumper when washing or working around the vehicle to prevent unintended operation.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the liftgate does not respond, move the key closer and repeat one quick straight kick under the left side of the bumper.
- ✓If you paused or swept your foot sideways, step away for a moment and retry with a single in-and-out motion.
- ✓If key-fob or instrument-panel liftgate operation also fails, confirm power liftgate operation is enabled and battery voltage is adequate.
