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

When the liftgate is fully closed, press and hold the Kia EV6 power liftgate open/close button for approximately 1 second. The power liftgate system will begin opening automatically while emitting an audible warning tone.

While the Kia EV6 liftgate is moving upward, pressing the button again will immediately pause the liftgate operation.

When the power liftgate is already open, press and hold the power liftgate open/close button to automatically close the liftgate. If the button is released while the liftgate is moving downward, the operation will stop and a warning sound will continue for approximately 5 seconds.

Additionally, if the Kia EV6 smart key moves outside the operating range of approximately 10 m (33 ft.), the power liftgate operation may stop and sound a warning chime for safety reasons.

The Kia EV6 power liftgate system is designed to provide smooth and convenient cargo access while improving everyday practicality for drivers and passengers.

WARNING

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

When the Kia EV6 liftgate is closed, press the exterior power liftgate button to open it automatically.

If the vehicle is locked, the smart key must be within operating range in order for the liftgate to open.

If the liftgate is already unlocked, pressing the exterior power liftgate button will open or close the liftgate even if the smart key is not being carried, accompanied by a warning sound.

This feature makes loading luggage, groceries, or charging accessories into the Kia EV6 significantly easier in daily use.

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

Press the interior power liftgate open/close button and the Kia EV6 liftgate will automatically open or close depending on its current position.

The automatic liftgate mechanism is engineered to operate smoothly and quietly while maintaining reliable operation in various driving conditions.

Automatic reverse

During power liftgate operation, if the Kia EV6 system detects an obstacle or resistance, the liftgate may stop moving or automatically reverse to the fully open position.

The automatic reverse feature may not function normally, or may activate unexpectedly, under the following circumstances:

• The system may not recognize resistance if the force applied is too light or if the liftgate is very close to the fully latched position.

• The automatic reverse function may activate unexpectedly if a strong impact or vibration occurs even when no object is blocking the liftgate.
