Opening your power liftgate (i.e. trunk lid equivalent) has never been easier on a variety of new Chevrolet and Buick small and large SUV models thanks General Motors’ Autosense Power liftgate technology. This new feature replaces the motion-activated liftgate responses (ex. foot kick) previously featured on many Buick and Chevrolet SUV models. It’s a handy feature to have when the Central Illinois winters make it hard to fish for a key fob in your pocket, in the fall when you have an armload of pumpkins from Wagon Wheel Farm, or when lugging your kids’ toys from a summer day out at Clinton Lake. Currently, the feature is available on the 2024 and newer Chevrolet Traverse, Equinox EV and Blazer EV; and Buick Enclave and Encore GX, and the 2025 and newer Equinox. How does the auto liftgate feature work? To open the liftgate using Autosense, first ensure it is an available feature on your model. If you are unsure if your vehicle has this feature, or want to shop only vehicles with this feature, please contact your local experts at Baum Chevrolet Buick at 217-935-3156 for more assistance. Using the center display, choose Vehicle Settings > Comfort and Convenience > Hands-Free Exterior Storage Access > Open Only. The feature works only when the vehicle is in PARK, and when a trailer is not connected. Opening the liftgate using the Autosense liftgate feature After the feature is enabled, first approach the rear of the vehicle with your key fob from more than 10 feet away. If you remain close to the liftgate on the vehicle, chimes will sound and the lights will flash. If four chimes sound, the trunk lid will open. If you do not want the gate to open, simply step farther than 3 feet away for a few moments, or single-press the liftgate button. Closing the Autosense-enabled liftgate If you leave the vehicle, the Autosense Power Liftgate will not close automatically. To close, use the buttons available in the cabin (location varies), the button on the key fob, or the button on the liftgate itself. The Autosense feature will reset and auto-open using the above procedures if you are 10 feet or more away from the vehicle with its fob for more than 20 seconds. Ways to mute the Autosense feature on your Traverse, Equinox, Enclave or Encore GX If the fob is within 10 feet of the liftgate for 2+ minutes, the Autosense feature will not work unless you unmute the key fob by pressing any button, use the vehicle’s door handle buttons, or open/close a door. If you want to mute the feature indefinitely, choose Vehicle Settings > Comfort and Convenience > Hands-Free Exterior Storage Access > Off. The feature can also be turned off by pressing and holding the button on the vehicle liftgate until the exterior lights flash. To turn it back on, repeat this process. Why is my Autosense feature not working? There are a few reasons why the Autosense feature may not work. The key fob is muted or the vehicle has been parked for several consecutive days. (To unmute the fob, use it to lock/unlock) The vehicle’s battery is low. The fob is inside the vehicle. The vehicle is not in park. A trailer is connected. How can I avoid opening the liftgate accidentally? The liftgate is designed to open with a “purposeful” approach to the rear of the car. If the chimes begin to sound, try stepping 3 feet away to cancel the opening.
