NOTE
•
If the system has been operating con-
tinuously for more than 60 seconds then
it is switched off to avoid overloading. It
can be used again after about 10
minutes.
•
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected then the cover must be
opened and closed manually once in
order to reset the system.
Snow and wind
If the tailgate is forced down by something just
when it is being opened, e.g. snow, ice or
strong wind, and this causes the tailgate to
lower, then it is closed automatically.
Pinch protection
If something with sufficient resistance prevents
the tailgate from opening/closing then the
pinch protection is activated.
•
During opening the power tailgate opera-
tion is switched off and the tailgate is dis-
engaged.
•
During closing the tailgate returns in the
opposite direction.
WARNING
Pay attention to the risk of crushing when
opening/closing. Before starting to open/
close; make sure that there is nobody close
to the tailgate as a crushing injury could
have serious consequences.
