Using the foot-activated power liftgate<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • Bring your key FOB nearby<\/strong>: The foot-activated power liftgate only works\u00a0if your key fob is within range of the vehicle. This requirement increases\u00a0security and prevents accidental openings when you\u2019re not nearby.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • Stand behind your car<\/strong>: Stand directly behind your Ford, ensuring you have enough space for the liftgate to open fully.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • Kick and step back<\/strong>: Using a gentle kicking motion, swipe your foot under the center of the rear bumper, then quickly step back. The system detects this motion and activates the liftgate.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  • Wait for it to open<\/strong>: Once the motion is detected, the liftgate will automatically open, giving you easy access to your cargo area.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Pro tips for using your foot-activate liftgate<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    • Aim for the sensor<\/strong>: The sensor is located near the center of the rear bumper. For best results, aim your kick slightly to one side of the logo or emblem.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Step back quickly<\/strong>: To give the liftgate space to open, step back after kicking to avoid interference.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
    • Close<\/strong> it<\/strong> the same way<\/strong>: When you need to close the liftgate, repeat the same kicking motion under the bumper, and it will gently lower and latch automatically.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
