Abstract
A control method for opening a tail gate for a vehicle capable of performing an auto opening operation of the tail gate includes steps of primarily sensing an intention of a user carrying a smart key to open the tail gate and then performing secondary sensing to confirm whether a distance between the smart key and the tail gate is equal to or more than a predetermined distance. Thus, any damage or interference of the tail gate may be prevented.
