Kia Telluride: Power liftgate: (if equipped) / Operating the power liftgate

Power liftgate open/close button (smart key, instrument panel): (if equipped)

Press and hold the power liftgate open/close button for approximately one second. The Kia Telluride power liftgate will begin opening or closing automatically while sounding a warning chime. If you press the same button again during movement, liftgate operation will immediately stop.

If the smart key moves outside the operating range (approximately 10 m) while the liftgate is in motion, the system will stop operating and emit a warning chime for approximately five seconds.

Power liftgate open/close button (outside the power liftgate)

When the liftgate is fully closed, press the exterior power liftgate button to open it automatically.

If the vehicle is locked, simply carry the smart key with you and press the exterior liftgate button to unlock and open the liftgate.

If the liftgate is already unlocked, pressing the exterior power liftgate button will open or close the liftgate with an audible warning even if the smart key is not being carried.

Power liftgate open/close button (inside the power liftgate)

Press the power liftgate button located on the inside of the liftgate to automatically open or close the liftgate. The Kia Telluride system completes the operation without requiring manual assistance.

Automatic reverse

During power liftgate operation, the liftgate continuously monitors for resistance. If an obstacle is detected, the liftgate will either stop or reverse to the fully open position to help reduce the risk of injury or damage.

The automatic reverse feature may not perform as expected, or it may activate unexpectedly, under the following conditions:

• The system may not detect very light resistance, especially when the liftgate is almost fully closed and approaching the latch.

• The automatic reverse function may activate if excessive force is applied while manually pushing the liftgate closed.
