HOW TO OPERATE THE AUTOSENSE POWER LIFTGATE

Before performing the steps below, be sure to enable the AutoSense Liftgate using your centre display.  With the vehicle on select:  Vehicle Settings > Comfort and Convenience > Hands-Free Exterior Storage Access > Open Only

1. Approach the liftgate with your key fob.
   • You must approach from farther than 3 metres.
2. When you’re within 1 metre of the liftgate, chimes will sound and the exterior lights will flash.
3. If you stay in that area for 4 chimes, the liftgate will open unless cancelled. 
4. You can cancel by: 
   • Using the liftgate button (single press).
   • Using the exterior liftgate touchpad (on some models, this is an emblem).
   • Stepping more than 1 metre away fromthe liftgate for more than a few seconds.

Approaching or leaving the vehicle will not cause the AutoSense Power Liftgate to close automatically. Here are 3 ways to close the liftgate:

• Press the button in the rear of the vehicle, usually located on the liftgate trim (exact location varies by model). 
• Press the liftgate button in the cabin (exact location varies by model). 
• Press the liftgate button on your key fob (double press).

After closing your liftgate, you will need to reactivate the AutoSense Power Liftgate feature before using it again. Here’s how:

• Remain at least 3 metres away from the vehicle for more than 20 seconds. Then, approach the rear of the vehicle with your key fob.

If your key fob remains in the area within 3 metres of the liftgate for over 2 continuous minutes, it will become muted (unresponsive). The AutoSense Power Liftgate feature won’t work unless you unmute the key fob with one of these actions:

— Press any key fob button.  

— Use the vehicle’s exterior door handle switch.  

— Open and close any vehicle door.

Turn the feature off entirely with these methods:

• In your centre display, select: Vehicle Settings > Comfort and Convenience > Hands-Free Exterior Storage Access > Off. 
• Press and hold the button in the liftgate until the exterior lights flash.
  — Press and hold this button until the exterior lights flash again to turn the feature back on.

• The key fob is muted.
  — To unmute the fob, use it to perform an action, such as a vehicle unlock, or press the vehicle’s exterior door switch. Then repeat the steps for opening the AutoSense Power Liftgate.
