quickly and with excessive force may
result in damage to the vehicle.
Operate the tailgate manually with a
smooth motion and moderate speed. The

manual closing speed to protect the
components.
Hands-Free Operation
If equipped, the tailgate may be operated
with a kicking motion under the left-hand
corner of the rear bumper at the location of
the projected logo.
The remote key must be within 1 m (3 ft.)
of the rear bumper to operate the power
tailgate handsfree.
The hands-free feature will not work while
the tailgate is moving. To stop the tailgate
while in motion use one of the tailgate
switches.
