After the closing command, when
power liftgate/Hands free starts
closing, all the indicators will blink to
warn anyone within range.
When power liftgate/Hands free
edge reaches the car body, the
motor locking the latch is activated
automatically.
If necessary, the power liftgate/Hands
free can also be opened or closed
manually. This operation could be

Frequent activations of the anti-pinch
protection function may disable the
automatic movement of the liftgate.
To reactivate this function, perform a
reset cycle by carrying out a complete
opening/closing sequence, after
manually closing the liftgate.

Free" mode, make sure the key fob is
outside the range of use (1 m/3.3 ft).
