Hands-Free Access Power Liftgate with Walk Away Close (TrailSport Elite)

What’s the Benefit?

The hands-free access feature provides a high level of convenience when approaching the vehicle with your hands full. And the walk away close function extends the hands-free convenience to when you grab an armload of items from the cargo area and leave the vehicle.

The Feature:

The hands-free access function lets you open and close the liftgate without reaching for the key fob.

• Owners who want to open the liftgate while their hands are full don’t even have to press a button.
• They can simply raise their foot beneath the rear bumper while the Smart Entry remote is with them.
• The liftgate will unlock and open automatically.
• The hands-free access sensor is positioned in the middle of the vehicle—although an accessory is available to move the sensor if a trailer hitch is installed.
• To engage the walk away close feature while carrying the keyless remote, press the walk away close button on the driver’s side of the cargo area; then walk at least 3 feet away from the Passport within 30 seconds—exterior lights will flash, a beeper will sound and the liftgate will power shut.
