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 lime.
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.

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.
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 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.
WARNING
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in the
path of the power tailgate to
make sure the automatic reversal
operates.
