Power tailgate
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power tailgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the
power tailgate will detect the resis
-
tance.
䳜 If the resistance is detected
whilst opening the tailgate, it will
stop and move in the opposite
direction.
䳜 If the resistance is detected
whilst closing the tailgate, it will
stop and move in the opposite
direction.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin
or soft, or the tailgate is near the
latched position, the automatic stop
and reversal may not detect the
resistance. If the automatic reversal
feature operates continuously more
than twice during opening or closing
operation, the power tailgate may
stop at that position. At this time,
check the surroundings and operate
the tailgate automatically again.
䳜 Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in the
path of the power tailgate to
make sure the automatic reversal
operates.
䳜 Never operate power tailgate
attached with any heavy objects
(ex. bicycles). It could damage the
power tailgate.
