1. Stand at the position about 30 cm (12

in) behind the center of the rear
bumper.

2. Move your foot to the position about

10 cm (3.9 in) from the center bottom
of the rear bumper.

3. Move your foot away from under the

bumper within about 1 second after
moving it under the bumper.

When the kicking motion is done
correctly, the hazard warning lights flash 2
times, a beep sound is activated, and the
liftgate opens/closes automatically. Be
careful not to contact the liftgate.
 
If the kicking motion is done while the
liftgate is opening/closing automatically,
the liftgate will stop. If the kicking motion
is done again, the liftgate moves in the
direction opposite to the direction it was
moving before it stopped.

CAUTION



Do not do the kicking motion while
wearing footwear such as sandals, or
with your bare foot. If your foot contacts
the hot exhaust pipe, it could cause
serious burns.



Do not do the kicking motion while the
area where you are standing is unstable
such as a slope or icy road. Otherwise,
you could fall down, resulting in injury.



Do not paint the rear bumper or install
any add-on equipment to it. Otherwise,
the hands-free liftgate sensor may not
operate normally.



If you are carrying the transmitter
around the liftgate or there is another
person around the liftgate who is
carrying a transmitter, do not allow the
following to occur. Otherwise, the
hands-free liftgate sensor will operate
and the liftgate may open/close
unexpectedly resulting in an accident.



A person not carrying a transmitter
does the kicking motion.



While the liftgate is open, a person
sitting on the edge of the luggage
compartment swings his or her legs.



Installing/removing the body cover or
removing snow around the rear
bumper.



Picking up something which was
dropped under the rear bumper.



Spraying water on the rear bumper
using a high water pressure car
washer.



Pushing a shopping cart close to the
rear bumper.



A moving object such as an animal or
a ball approaches the rear bumper.

To prevent an unintended operation,
place the transmitter outside of its
operation range or turn off the
hands-free liftgate.

NOTE



The hands-free liftgate sensor detects in
a range of about 30 cm (12 in) on both
the left and right sides from the center of
the rear bumper.
