Hyundai Santa Fe: Smart liftgate / Detecting area

• The smart liftgate detecting area extends approximately 20~40 in. (50~100 cm) behind the vehicle. If you are positioned in the detecting area and are carrying the smart key, the hazard warning lights will blink and the chime will sound for about 3 seconds to alert you that the liftgate will open.
• The alert stops once the smart key is moved outside of the detecting area within the 3 second period.

  - Another vehicle’s smart key is being operated close to your vehicle.
