Walk Away and Let the MDX Close Its Tailgate
Arm Walk Away Close, collect your cargo, then leave the rear detection zone within 30 seconds.
A power liftgate may require a specific trim, sensor position or setup sequence. Use the vehicle and year shown on each guide, then check its equipment note before trying the steps.
Each guide keeps its market, model-year, powertrain and equipment limits attached. A listed model does not imply the feature is standard on every trim.
