See ENGINE START BACKUP.
ACTIVITY KEY
WARNING
The activity key system uses Radio Frequency (RF) transmissions that could interfere with implanted medical devices. Make sure that any susceptible medical devices are kept at a safe distance of at least 9 in (22 cm) away from any transmitter. Maintaining this distance avoids any possibility of interference between the system and the medical device. The RFs and field strengths used by the keyless entry system operate well within required medical standards for radiated emissions. In rare circumstances, interference may cause an implanted medical device to malfunction, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. See SMART KEY SYSTEM TRANSMITTERS.
The activity key is a touchscreen wristwatch. The activity key is designed to support situations where the smart key might be obtrusive or difficult to keep secure. The activity key is waterproof to a depth of 131 ft (40 m) and is shockproof. Care should be taken during certain sporting activities, e.g., skiing, jet-skiing, or diving, to protect the activity key. The activity key provides full keyless entry and keyless start functionality. See PASSIVE ENTRY, KEYLESS LOCKING and STARTING THE ENGINE. When the activity key is activated, the vehicle locks, the alarm system arms, and any smart key remaining inside the vehicle is disabled.

OPENING AND CLOSING THE POWERED TAILGATE
WARNING
Before operating the tailgate or powered inner tailgate, make sure that anyone in the vicinity does not have any part of their body in a position where it could be trapped. Note that the soft-close action does not incorporate object detection. Death or serious injury could occur, even with an object detection system. While the tailgate is open, the locking latch is exposed. Do not attempt to manually close the latch, as it may also automatically soft-close and trap items or body parts.
CAUTION
Make sure there is sufficient space above and at the rear of the vehicle, before operating the tailgate. Insufficient opening space may result in damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not operate the tailgate if a cycle rack is fitted to the tailgate. Remove any cycles and/or racks before operating the tailgate.
WARNING
Before operating the tailgate, make sure that anyone in the vicinity does not have any body part in a position where it could be trapped. A soft-close latch is fitted to the powered tailgate. The soft-close latch electrically closes the tailgate to a fully latched position. Note that the soft-close action does not incorporate object detection. Death or serious injury could occur, even with an object detection system.
WARNING
While the tailgate is open, the locking latch is exposed. Do not attempt to manually close the latch, as it may also automatically soft-close and trap items or body parts.
WARNING
Death or serious injury may occur if the tailgate is left open and persons or luggage fall out of the moving vehicle.
CAUTION
Please make sure that the tailgate is fully closed before the vehicle is driven. Driving with the tailgate open may result in damage to the vehicle. To operate the powered tailgate:
- External open and close button: Press to open, stop, reverse direction, or close the tailgate.
NOTES
The external release button operates if all of the doors are unlocked and the gear selector is in the Park (P) position. The external release button operates differently when the gear selector is in the Neutral (N) position.

NOTES
The tailgate does not open if the vehicle is traveling at, or above, approximately 3 mph (5 km/h).
NOTES
Make sure that the powered inner tailgate is fully raised and does not interfere with the closure of the powered tailgate.
After the tailgate has opened to its set height, it can be manually raised or lowered. If the tailgate fails to open or close correctly, close it manually and then press the tailgate release switch again. As the closing tailgate approaches the closed position, it soft-closes to the fully closed position. If the vehicle was previously locked, the alarm re-arms. The hazard warning lights flash to confirm the alarm status. An audible confirmation may also be given.
NOTES
If a tailgate switch is pressed while the tailgate is opening or closing, all movement stops. However, if a switch is pressed during the soft-close stage, it will be ignored. Object detection while opening: If an object is detected that would interfere with the tailgate opening, tailgate movement stops. Remove any obstructions and press the tailgate switch again to open.
Object detection while closing: If an object is detected that would interfere with the tailgate closing, tailgate movement stops. The tailgate then reverses to the fully open position, if able to do so. An audible warning is given to indicate a mislock. If the tailgate is open, remove any obstructions then press the tailgate button again to close the tailgate. If the tailgate is not open, press a tailgate release button to open the tailgate and then remove any obstructions. Once the obstructions have been removed, press the tailgate close button to close the tailgate.
NOTES
If a valid smart key cannot be detected within 39 in (1 m) of the rear of the vehicle, the tailgate does not power close. An audible warning sounds to indicate a mislock.
NOTES
If the tailgate is closed manually, the vehicle searches for a valid smart key. If no smart key is detected within 39 in (1m) of the rear of the vehicle, or a smart key remains inside the vehicle, an audible warning sounds. The warning indicates a mislock and the tailgate re-opens after approximately 3 seconds.
NOTES
If the smart key remains inside the luggage compartment when the vehicle is locked and the alarm is set, a warning is given. The warning indicates a mislock and the tailgate re-opens after approximately 3 seconds. The smart key may not be detected if it is inside a metal container, or is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen, e.g., a smartphone.
TAILGATE OPENING HEIGHT
The maximum opening height for the tailgate can be set as required. Setting a maximum height is useful in parking areas with very low roofs, or just for ease of use.
To set the maximum height as required:
- Open the powered tailgate to the position required as the maximum height. Press any tailgate release button to stop movement at the required position. The final position can be achieved manually, if required.
- Make sure the tailgate is stationary for at least 3 seconds.
- Press and hold the tailgate close button for greater than 5 seconds, or until an audible confirmation is heard, to set the required opening height. Release the tailgate close button.
- Close the tailgate, then open it again to check that it opens to the set height. See OPENING AND CLOSING THE POWERED TAILGATE.
- The maximum opening height is now set.
NOTES
If, after performing part 3 of the process, the tailgate closes automatically, the required height has not been set. Repeat the process, making sure that all steps are adhered to.
To reset the maximum opening height, repeat the process, but when the tailgate reaches its current set height, manually move it to the fully open position before pressing and holding the tailgate close button. The tailgate may lose its position memory if there are multiple object detections, or if the battery voltage is low. Powered operation may also be inhibited.
To reset the tailgate:
- Manually close the tailgate.
- Press the tailgate release button.
- Allow the tailgate to fully open or open to the previously set position.
- Press and release the tailgate button.
- Allow the tailgate to power-close fully. The tailgate’s programmed memory is restored.
GESTURE TAILGATE
WARNING
Make sure that the standing area is stable and not slippery before performing the kick movement.
WARNING
Do not make contact with the vehicle’s exhaust. The vehicle’s exhaust may be hot and can cause injury.
CAUTION
Make sure that there is sufficient space above and at the rear of the vehicle before operating the tailgate. Insufficient opening space may result in damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not operate the tailgate if a cycle rack is fitted to the tailgate. Remove any cycles and/or racks before operating the tailgate.
Sensors are positioned within the outer parts of the rear bumper. The sensors recognize a valid kick below the bumper level and allow automatic opening or closing of the powered tailgate.
To operate the gesture tailgate, approach the vehicle, and perform a smooth kick and return motion. This should last between 1 and 2 seconds and should take place within one of the vehicle’s two sensor areas, as illustrated. When a valid kick movement is recognized by the vehicle, the turn signals flash and the tailgate operates.
NOTES
Use the sensor for the parking aid system as a reference to perform the kick to operate the gesture tailgate.
NOTES
The gesture action is a smooth kick and return motion, not a swipe motion.
NOTES
If the ignition is on, the tailgate operates but the turn signals do not flash.
NOTES
A valid smart key must be within 47 in (1.2 m) of the tailgate. The smart key may not be detected if it is inside a metal container, or is shielded by a device with a back-lit LCD screen, e.g., a smartphone. Keep the smart key clear of such devices when attempting hands-free operation of the powered tailgate.
NOTES
Certain conditions may affect the performance of the sensors, and movement beneath the bumper may not be detected. If this should happen, use the interior tailgate button or the smart key’s tailgate button. Check the operation of the gesture tailgate when the vehicle is in a new location.
Unintentional opening: In exceptional circumstances, and if the smart key is within 47 in (1.2 m) of the tailgate, the powered tailgate may open unintentionally due to the following:
- Manual car washing or high pressure cleaning.
- Moving objects beneath the rear bumper sensors.
- While changing a rear road wheel.
- While fitting snow chains to the rear wheels.
