movement
Make one slow forward kicking motion while
–
the tailgate is opening or closing to stop its

The remote key does not need to be within range
of the vehicle to interrupt opening or closing of
the tailgate.
If the tailgate stops near the closed position, it
will open the next time it is activated.
NOTE
There is a risk of reduced or lost function if
there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc.
on the rear bumper. Make sure to keep the
bumper clean.

Please note that the system could be inadver-
tently activated in a car wash or similar if the
remote key is within range.

sor is located towards the left corner of the

of the vehicle's remote keys must be within range
(approx. 1 meter (3 feet)) for opening and closing
to be possible.
