and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has
to be operated manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back

tem) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) or the

The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just
●
before the back door fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-

The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the
●
object that is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.
