Power Tailgate Hands Free Access*1

Use a forward and back kicking motion under the center of the rear bumper to open or close the power tailgate while carrying the smart entry remote. Some exterior lights flash twice and a beeper sounds once, then the tailgate begins to move.
Note: This function will not operate if you don't have the smart entry remote on you. Please make sure you have the smart entry remote on you.

During rain or in other instances when the vehicle becomes wet, the sensor may not properly detect your foot motion.

Warning
Closing a power tailgate while anyone is in the path of the tailgate can cause serious injury.

Make sure everyone is clear before closing the power tailgate.
