Unlocking The Tailgate - Honda 2012 Pilot Owner's Manual

WHEN UNLOCKED In this mode,
you must unlock the tailgate before
opening it. In addition, the tailgate
will not automatically relock when
you close it.
You can switch between these two
modes as following:
1. Insert the key into the ignition and
turn to the ON (II) position.
2. Press and hold the power tailgate
switch until the PTG buzzer
sounds. (Switch should be held on
longer than 5 seconds).
3. Release the switch.
4. Turn off the ignition and remove
the key.
To go back to the other setting,
repeat the above procedure.
When mode is set the ''WHEN
UNLOCKED,'' you will hear three
short beeps.
When mode is set the ''ANYTIME,''
you will hear a long beep when the
ignition is turned OFF (0).

If the power door lock system cannot
unlock the tailgate, unlock it
manually.
Place a cloth on the top side of the
cover to prevent scratches, then use
a small flat-tip screwdriver to remove
the cover on the back of the tailgate.
