Resetting the power liftgate

power liftgate operation may need to be performed. Some instances where resetting the power liftgate may be required include:

  • When the 12-volt battery is recharged

  • When the 12-volt battery is reinstalled after removal or replacement

  • When the related fuse is reinstalled after removal or replacement

  1. With the engine off or running, put the gear in P (Park).

  2. Press the power liftgate open/close button inside the liftgate and the power liftgate open/close button outside the vehicle simultaneously until a chime sounds.

  3. Slowly close the liftgate manually.

  4. Press the power liftgate open/close outer button. The power liftgate will open with a chime sound.

    Wait until the liftgate fully opens to complete resetting. If the liftgate stops before it is fully open, resetting cannot be completed.

NOTICE

If the power liftgate does not operate properly after the above procedure, this must be done by an authorized Kia dealer.
