Features of your vehicle
僅 Do not modify or repair any part of
the power liftgate by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
僅 Do not operate the power liftgate
under the following conditions. The
power liftgate may not operate prop-
erly.
- One side of the vehicle is lifted to
inspect the vehicle or change a tire
- Parking on an uneven road such as
a slope, etc.
僅 Close the liftgate completely and lock
all doors and liftgate using the central
door lock button before using an
automatic car wash.
僅 Do not spray high pressure water
directly on the power liftgate outside
open/close button. The liftgate may
open unintentionally.
INFORMATION
僅 If the liftgate is not fully closed and
vehicle speed is at or above 1.8 mph
(3 km/h), a warning will sound 10
times. Immediately park the vehicle at
a safe place, close the liftgate, and
check that the liftgate open warning
on the instrument cluster is turned off.
僅 In cold and wet climates, the outside
power liftgate open/close button may
not work properly due to freezing
conditions. If this occurs, remove the
ice before using the outside power
liftgate open/close button or use the
power liftgate open/close button on
the smart key or the instrument panel.
僅 Operating the power liftgate more
than 5 times continuously could cause
damage to the operating motor. If this
occurs, the power liftgate will not
operate to prevent the motor from
overheating. If any of the power
4 34
liftgate buttons are pressed to try to
open the liftgate, the chime will sound
3 times, but the liftgate will remain
closed. Allow the power liftgate sys-
tem to cool for about 1 minute before
operating the system again.
