written instructions
Ensure your key fob is within range of the vehicle
In order for the rear door to open, the keyless entry device must be within a range of the vehicle's sensor. However, there's no need to remove the fob from your pocket or purse.
Kick your foot gently under the center of the car
Kick your foot directly under the sensor without touching the vehicle. On 2023 models and newer, this should be accompanied by two quick beeps. The first is for when the sensor recognizes the foot, while the second beep occurs once the liftgate starts to open by itself! Sienna only: To open either of the sliding side doors, find the sensor icon on the side sill and kick your foot under it.
Step away from the rear of the vehicle
Remain cautious of the door opening in front of you. Keep your head and limbs far enough away from the vehicle to prevent injury during this process. Also, ensure that other passengers are clear of the door before attempting to open it.
Repeat step two to close the door
When you're ready to close the trunk, simply repeat step two by kicking your foot under the center of the car.
Kick sensor is not compatible with tow hitch and other accessories that mount to or near the rear bumper. Selection of Genuine Toyota Tow Package will remove the hands-free foot-activated rear power liftgate function. Selection of the Genuine Toyota tow hitch will require removing or disabling the kick sensor, and the sensor operation setting in your vehicle should be turned off. Water, weather, dirt and other conditions also may cause the sensor to not operate properly or to operate unintentionally. See Owner's Manual for limitations.
Tips to Remember
Smart Key required
In order for the Kick Sensor to work, you must have the Smart Key on you (in your pocket or purse is fine).
Keep it to one key
If there is another Smart Key in the car, the system may take slightly longer than normal to operate.
Make it quick
Don't let your foot linger for more than a second or so. The hands-free power liftgate will not start operating as long as a foot is detected under the sensor.
One kick should do it
Kicking more than once may interrupt the opening or closing of the liftgate.
Stand back
You'll need to stand back 10-13 inches in order for the Kick Sensor to function safely.
Vehicle must be off
The Kick Sensor will only operate if your vehicle is turned off.
