It’s a great convenience for owners with an armload of packages to push the remote button and have the liftgate already open when they reach the Odyssey. And the driver also has the option of opening or closing the liftgate without leaving the driver’s seat.
The Feature:
All Odyssey trims come with a remote-operated power liftgate.
It can be operated remotely with the key fob from up to 50 feet away, or by pushing a button from the driver’s seat.
This feature is especially convenient when the driver is carrying items back to the vehicle and may not have a hand free to open the liftgate, and would prefer not to place items on the pavement.
When closing the liftgate, small-statured users will not have to worry about reaching for the handle, and older users need not worry about flexibility or strength.
The driver can also close the liftgate using the button to the left of the steering column or a button on the liftgate itself.
While the liftgate is opening, the stop-and-hold function allows you to push the switch to immediately stop the liftgate from continuing to open—such as to avoid hitting a wall behind the vehicle.
The programmable-height function is designed to limit how high the liftgate opens with every use; here’s how it works:
While the liftgate is powering open, press the liftgate button on the remote fob or the button on the bottom of the liftgate when it’s at the desired height; it will hold its position.
Then push and hold the switch on the bottom of the liftgate until you hear a double-beep; now the new opening height has been programmed.
