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 resistance.
• If the resistance is detected whilst
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• 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 rever-
sal may not detect the resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power tailgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
tailgate manually and operate the
tailgate automatically again.
OTM048037
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power tailgate to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.
Do not put heavy stuffs on the
power tailgate before you oper-
ate the power tailgate.
Additional weight on tailgate
could cause damages to the
system.
