It honks so you can't lock the keys in the car. You can still lock them in if you want using the keypad on the door. That honk when the key is the cabin negates the likelyhood of it locking you out. I haven't tried a key in the cargo area, just the passenger area.

 

I have had a few close calls with the Hands Free Liftgate, I have little toy dogs and when trying to get them into their kennel in the cargo area they run under the bumper and close it. Worst part about that is the kennel door swings out and could contact the rear window as it is closing. It has opened while washing it also.

 

Hands free is gimmicky, but now that I have it and use it, it is handy and I don't have to put down what I am carrying, or open it with the fob before I get there.

I am sitting here hours after the liftgate crushed my neck vertebra, very painful. The scary part is why didn't the sensor notice this big giant 6 ft tall 200lb person is leaning in the back? It didn't, I had to fight my way to stay alive.

If I get out to check my mailbox, car running, my keys in my pocket, I click lock the door and a very loud honk honk, the neighbors hate me. I cant leave the keys in the car, someone will take it, I cant shut the car off, my dogs are in there, its 95 degrees outside, engine and ac running.

Also, if I leave the fob in the car or laying on the ground 3+ feet away in a public parking lot, 2 things could happen, someone grab my keys and take my deadly car or B the stupid car locking me completely out with the keys inside. And why does it have to honk if I leave the keys in the car? I literally hate this car for these reasons.

I have been nearly crushed by the auto liftgate several times, its so quiet and today a train was going by so I really didnt hear it until it banged into my neck vertebrae very hard and kept moving downward,pushing me lower until I thought it nearly broke my neck. I am almost 70 and paid the extra for the power gate for ease of use, I open the gate several times a day. I'm sitting here worried to head home hoping my car hasn't disabled me.

I too dont want to turn the whole thing off to open and close its hard on my back.

I dont think my obstruction sensor works at all, I had to really shove on the door to get it to stop and thats hard when your neck is being crushed. I dont know what to do, except maybe crawl under there and cut the foot sensor wire because I still need it to open and close, just going without the foot switch is a small sacrifice vs being bedbound the few years I have left on earth.
