  • The smart detection zone of the power liftgate extends approximately 20~40 in (50~100 cm) behind the vehicle. If you are in the detection zone with the smart key, the hazard lights will flash and the horn will sound for approximately 3 seconds to warn you that the liftgate is about to open.
  • The warning stops when the smart key moves outside the detection zone for 3 seconds.
