Features of your vehicle
Power liftgate Non-Opening or
Closing Conditions :
僅 The power liftgate will not open or
close automatically, when the vehicle
is moving more than 2 mph (3 km/h).
僅 The power liftgate can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However, the power liftgate opera-
tion consumes large amounts of vehi-
cle electric power. To prevent the
battery from draining, do not operate
it excessively (e.g., more than approxi-
mately 10 times repeatedly).
僅 Do not modify or repair any part of
the power liftgate by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
僅 Before jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the power liftgate. Do not oper-
ate the power liftgate when the vehi-
cle is raised or this could cause the
power liftgate to operate improperly.
僅 If there are obstacles such as snow on
the power liftgate, it may not open
automatically. After removing the
obstacle, try to open it again.
Automatic stop and Reverse
OCK041019
If, during power opening or closing, the
liftgate is blocked by an object or part of
4 26
someone's body, the power liftgate will
detect the resistance and it will stop
movement or move to the full open posi-
tion to allow the object to be cleared.
However, if an object is thin or soft, or
the liftgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance and the closing
operation will continue. If the power lift-
gate is forced by a strong impact, the
automatic stop and reversal may oper-
ate.
If the automatic stop and reverse feature
operates more than twice during one
opening or closing operation, the power
liftgate may stop at that position.
If this occurs, close the liftgate manually
and operate the liftgate automatically
again.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury and damage
take the following precautions when
operating the power liftgate :
僅 Keep all faces, hands, arms, body
parts and other objects away from the
path of the power liftgate.
僅 Do not intentionally place any body
parts or objects in the path of the
power liftgate to make sure the auto-
matic stop and reversal operates.
僅 Do not allow children to play with the
power liftgate.
