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 - power tailgate operation
is deactivated and the tailgate is disen-
gaged.
•
During closing - the tailgate returns to the
fully open position.
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.
Always operate the tailgate with caution.
Manual tailgate operation
The system is disengaged if the rubberised
pressure plate beneath the outside handle is
actuated a second time. The tailgate can then
be operated manually.
Opening the tailgate
The tailgate can be opened three
ways (two of which involve this but-
ton):
•
Long press on the button in the lighting
panel - hold the button depressed until the
tailgate starts to open.
•
Long press on the button on the remote
control key - hold the button depressed
until the tailgate starts to open.
•
Lightly press the rubberised pressure plate
beneath the outside handle and raise the
tailgate.
