Ever wondered exactly how contact-free tailgate opening works? Here's how, why it may fail and how to have it working consistently:

I didn't realize there were actually two sensors to be triggered, no wonder the feature never worked for me consistently.

It should although it may be an optional feature. Check your vehicle options using vin lookup.
