NOTICE
僅 The power tailgate can be operated
when the engine is not running. How-
ever the power tailgate operation con-
sumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively e.g.: more than
approximately 10 times repeatedly.
僅 To prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not leave the power tail-
gate in the open position for a long
time.
僅 Do not modify or repair any part of
the power tailgate by yourself. Have
the system checked by a professional
workshop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 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.
僅 In cold and wet climates, the power
tailgate may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.

Automatic reversal
OKA4041030L
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.
僅 If the resistance is detected whilst
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
僅 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 clos-
ing operation, the power tailgate may
stop at that position. At this time, close
the tailgate manually and operate the
tailgate automatically again.
