conditions
The tailgate does not open when the
vehicle is in motion.
The chime will sound if you
drive with the tailgate opened.
Stop your vehicle immediately
at a safe place and check if your

Operating the power tailgate
more than 5 times continuously
could cause damages to the
operating motor. In this case, the
system enters into a thermal pro-
tection mode. In thermal protec-
tion mode, the power tailgate can
not operate and the chime will
sound for 3 times by any switch
inputs. Leave your power tailgate
system for rest about 1 minute
and then operate.
WARNING
CAUTION
i
Information
• The power tailgate can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However the power tailgate opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being discharged,
do not operate it excessively. (e.g.:
more than approximately 10 times
repeatedly.)
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
tailgate in the open position for a
long time.
• Do not modify or repair any part of
the power tailgate by yourself. We
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tyre or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power tailgate.
This could cause the power tailgate
to operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power
tailgate may not work properly due
to freezing conditions.
