Anyone know if the Honda Passport has the tailgate limit or if the Passport even comes with the feature? The Honda Odyssey has the feature so wondering if the Passport does (2020 Odyssey | How to Program the Power Tailgate Opening Hei...). I had to learn the hard way when opening the tailgate inside the garage (fortunately nothing was damaged).

I had tried this procedure before, but liftgate does not stop-and-hold at partially opened position. . . it reverses and closes.

I tried all sorts of suggestions on how to make it stop at a certain height - nothing worked.
I am 5' tall, so when it's all the way up I can't reach the close button. So I have to use my key or button on the door to close it.

If you open it manually using the button under the center of the hatch you can stop it at any point. Not the same as setting it to stop where you want automatically but useful at times.

What do you do to stop it? I've tried pressing the button on the hatch, driver-side door, key fob, tried grabbing the tailgate at a certain height. I even remember something a while back about pressing the hatch button and another at the same time on the key fob. Neither worked for me?

I open it with hatch button and then just grab and hold it at the base for a couple of seconds when you want it to stop. It will stop wherever you want. If you hold it for too short of time it will continue opening. I have to do this whenever I open the hatch when the PP is in the garage.

Hmm...that has not worked for me in the past. I can try it again later today though.

Heather, I went out and tried it again and it does stop whenever I want it to. I also checked the manual. Page 153 , last paragraph, mentions "If you press the outer handle again while the tailgate is moving, it will stop. (I did not know that). Press the outer handle, and the tailgate will reverse direction".. I went out yet again and tried that. It will work, sometimes. My method of just grabbing the tailgate for a couple of seconds works every time. Good luck!

Thanks Jim.

It’s probably one of the weird quarks that don’t work on mine. Like the engine idle stop that works 50% of the time or weird ACC issues. But I’ll take those over the engine failures, suspension replacements and infotainment center issues.

Heather, I think I know what the problem might be. Go to Settings/Vehicle/Power Tailgate Setup/Power Tailgate Open by Outer Handle/ and select Off (manual only). That is what have mine set on. Hope that works for you.

Thanks! I will screen shot this and check tomorrow. Just got back to the hotel.

The kick method under the bumper will also close the tailgate. It took a little practice to find the sweet spot and now I use is all the time to open and close.

my kicker has never worked. Dealer couldn’t figure it out and I don’t use it, so I moved on.

Mine o my worked about 1/2 the time. Felt like an idiot kicking and kicking. Surprised the valence is not cracked. Then I read where you have to make sure your shin is reaching the antenna, not your foot. The one on my wife's X3 is not nearly as sensitive!]

Mine works just fine. Straight kick out and back. Not side to side or in a circle.

If I lightly touch the top of my ankle to the bottom of the bumper it works 100% of the time.

I set mine on manual and it works and you can stop it where you want kind of .... lol
