Length of Kick Zone
Kick Zone Direction
To operate, kick your foot straight up
in one swift motion under the left
corner of the rear bumper, then pull
it back.
Caution
Splashing water may cause the
liftgate to open. Keep the RKE
transmitter away from the rear
bumper detection area or turn the
liftgate mode to OFF when cleaning
or working near the rear bumper to
avoid accidental opening.
Do not sweep your foot side
to side.
Do not keep your foot under the
bumper; the liftgate will not
activate.
Do not touch the liftgate until it
has stopped moving.
This feature may be temporarily
disabled under some conditions.
If the liftgate does not respond to
the kick, open or close the liftgate
by another method or start the
vehicle. The feature will be
re-enabled.
When closing the liftgate using this
feature, there will be a short delay. The
taillamps will flash and a chime will
sound. Step away from the liftgate
before it starts moving.
