Power tailgate non-opening condi-
tions
The power tailgate will not open
automatically, when the vehicle is
moving more than 3 km/h (2 mph).
WARNING
The chime will sound continuously if
you drive over 3km/h (2mph) with
the tailgate opened. Stop your vehi-
cle immediately at a safe place and
check if your tailgate is opened.
CAUTION
Do not operate the power tailgate
more than 5 times continuously.
It may damage the power tailgate
system. If the spindle is strained
due to continuous operation, the
chime will sound 3 times and the
power tailgate will not operate. At
this time, stop operating the tail-
gate and leave it for more than 1
minute.
NOTICE
The power tailgate can be oper-
ated when the engine is not run-
ning. However the power tailgate
operation 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 repeat-
edly.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the
power tailgate in the open posi-
tion for a long time.
Do not modify or repair any part
of the power tailgate by yourself.
Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tyre or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power tail-
gate. This could cause the power
tailgate to operate improperly.
In cold and wet climates, the
power tailgate may not work
properly due to freezing condi-
tions.
