How to Activate Hands-Free Liftgate on a 2016 Edge Sport With Curt # C13234 Installed
Question:
I have installed the Curt C13234. The hands-free liftgate no longer functions from anywhere under the rear of the car. Any ideas?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13234 should still allow you to activate the hands-free liftgate as it has been tested. In the attached video of this trailer hitch on a 2015 Ford Edge you can see our installer activating the liftgate by passing his foot under the trailer hitch but typically what we see is that you have to use a kicking motion as if you are kicking a ball.
I have attached a photo showing the best locations to try activating a liftgate when a trailer hitch is installed but if you are in a garage you may need to back out for the sensors to work. I have no idea why this matters but when I have called in the past being in a garage can sometimes affect the sensors.
