Does the tailgate automatically open when you approach the rear?

Does the tailgate automatically open when you approach the rear?

If equipped, yes. It's not a standard feature, except on the limited. But you can get it via options packages on other trim levels.

It waits 3 or 4 seconds before opening, to avoid opening it when you just happen to be walking behind the car and don't actually want it to open.

Thanks, I have the Limited. (My Santa Fe beeps when I stand behind the vehicle then opens automatically after a few seconds, but my Palisade does not beep and so far the tailgate does not open automatically

You have to turn the feature on in the settings. Explore your settings menu and read the manuals.

Hi Debbie, my Limited beeps 3 times when I approach the vehicle and stand behind it. You might have adjust the user settings. Also your doors need to be locked.

Went to a couple dealerships and their service center is backed up and cant look at my car for a couple months

What doesn't work for you? The automatic tailgate? It's off by default. You have to turn the feature on in your infotainment settings. Refer to the infotainment manual.

Not in my jacket pocket

Are you standing close enough to the tailgate?

Yes I have the same issue with remote start

Yes I have the same issue with remote start

Have you tried with both keys?

Have you tried it with a different jacket?

Maybe a weak battery... easy enough to change to a fresh one.
