Rivian Liftgate Height Memory

[Jaques R1S]

Before now, I always wondered if it was possible to set how high the liftgate opens. Mine used to stop basically just above my head height, making me feel like I needed to duck. I even tested the range of motion, and there was a good 4-5" more it could go up, but it stops there all the time.

I searched the owners manual and found nothing, tried a long hold on the liftgate button, tried double pressing, nothing. So I went online and got an answer.

To manually Adjust your lifegate stop height, just follow these simple steps.

1. Open the Liftgate

Press the liftgate button on the key fob, inside the vehicle, or on the liftgate itself.

2. Manually Adjust to Desired Height

Once the liftgate is open, gently pull it down or push it up to your preferred stopping height.

3. Set the New Height

Press and hold the liftgate close button (located on the bottom edge of the liftgate) for a few seconds until you hear a chime/beep. This confirms that the new stop height is saved.

4. Test the New Setting

Close the liftgate, then open it again to ensure it stops at the new height.
Resetting to Default


If you want to reset the liftgate to open fully again:

Just open it and push it all the way up manually. Then press and hold the close button until you hear a chime.

Hope this helps someone. Also, let me know if you need more help!
