Liftgate Hands Free Sensor

The sensors are located behind the rear fascia (location may vary depending upon make and model, refer to owner's manual for the location of the sensors) and is designed to detect the motion of the operator's foot by way of a kicking motion. When the keyless entry transmitter is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate and the operator kicks his or her foot under the rear fascia, the sensors will detect the motion of the foot and the lower leg and if the procedure has been performed correctly the hands free liftgate sensor control module will send a serial data message to the liftgate control module. The tail lamps will then flash to indicate that the command has been received and the liftgate will power open or power close. The liftgate hands free functions can be modified within the Vehicle Personalization:

• Open and close with the kicking motion
• Open only with the kicking motion
• Hands free function disabled
• Keyless Access function disabled
