Operating EV6’s Automatic Flush Door Handles

2024 EV6’s sleek design is complemented by Automatic Flush Door Handles on the GT and GT-Line trims that lend to its aerodynamic profile. These trims feature Automatic Flush Door Handles that automatically pop out and retract in certain conditions. These handles are considered an Important to Explain (ITE) feature. It is essential to explain this feature to customers to ensure they can confidently operate them and adjust their settings, if desired. Let’s take a look!
