Important limits

  • Repeated foot motions can cancel or reset activation.
  • Three beeps during a close request can mean the required key is not detected.
  • The sensor does not remove the need to monitor the powered hatch.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓Clean mud, snow and ice from the sensor area.
  • ✓Move the charged key closer to the rear of the vehicle.
  • ✓Use one deliberate motion and step back instead of waving a foot repeatedly.
