Hyundai Power Liftgate and Smart Liftgate Operation

The available Power Liftgate and Smart Liftgate on your Hyundai allows for easy opening and closing using a variety of methods. The main setting for the Power Liftgate is found in set up, then vehicle, and then door. When turned off, only the Liftgate button will control the Power Liftgate. When turned on the Liftgate button, key fob button, and interior button will all control the Power Liftgate. For your convenience, the Power Liftgate will operate with the ignition on or off, but the vehicle must be in park for it to operate.

From the driver’s seat, you can use the Power Liftgate main control button. First, make sure the vehicle is in park and the parking brake is set. Press and hold the button for one second to open the Liftgate. To close the Liftgate, press and hold the button until it closes completely. On the smart key, you can press and hold the Liftgate open and close button for one second to open the Liftgate. If you need to stop the Liftgate movement, press either the main control button or the button on the smart key. From the rear of the vehicle. You can press the Power Liftgate open switch to open the Liftgate. The power Liftgate closed switch inside the Liftgate can be used to close it.

The Smart Liftgate feature is a hands-free feature that can be very useful when you’re carrying items that need to go into the rear of the vehicle and the Liftgate is closed. First, be sure Smart Liftgate is enabled. Select setup, then vehicle, and then door. Tap the slider button to turn the feature on. Once the vehicle has been locked and 15 seconds have passed, Smart Liftgate operation is activated. To use it, stand within three feet of the rear bumper for more than three seconds with the smart key on your person. The hazard lights will flash, the chime will sound six times, and the Smart Liftgate will open. If you mistakenly enter the Smart Liftgate sensing area and you wish to stop the Liftgate from opening, simply walk away from the rear of the vehicle while the beeping is still sounding. The Liftgate will remain closed. If you press any button on the smart key, the Smart Liftgate function will be deactivated temporarily and the Liftgate will not open.

Smart Liftgate will not operate within 15 seconds of locking the vehicle: if the smart key is detected in close proximity of the vehicle within 15 seconds of locking the vehicle, if a door is not locked or closed, if the smart key is in the vehicle. You can also adjust the operating height of the power Liftgate. This can be handy if you have a garage with a low ceiling, for instance. Select Power Liftgate opening height, and you can choose between four preset opening heights. You can also choose to set a custom opening height. First select user height setting. Then position the Liftgate manually to the height you prefer. Press and hold the power Liftgate open close button located inside the Liftgate for more than three seconds. After you hear two beeps, use the button to close the Liftgate. The Liftgate will now open to your preset height.

Finally, you can also adjust the operating speed of the Power Liftgate. Go to the door menu and then select Power Liftgate opening speed. You can choose between normal and fast opening speeds.
