the tailgate). The beeper sounds while the power tailgate lowers.

1Auto-Closer
The auto-closer feature does not activate if you press
the tailgate release button while the power tailgate is
closing.
Do not put any force on the tailgate while the power
tailgate is latching.
Keep your hands away from the tailgate when you
manually close the tailgate and let it latch
automatically. It is dangerous to put your hands
around the tailgate as it starts to latch itself.
1Power Tailgate Fall Detection
If you try to manually close the power tailgate
immediately after it fully opens, the power tailgate
fall detection may activate.
Once the power tailgate fall detection activates, wait
until the power tailgate fully closes. Keep away from
the power tailgate when it is in motion. After the
power tailgate is fully closed, wait for about five
minutes. Manual operation is permitted.
If the power tailgate fall detection constantly
activates, consult at a dealer.
