Keys and Locks
Power tailgate-Failsafe mode
When the tailgate is fully opened by
the transmitter, heavy build-up of
snow or installation of non-genuine
Honda accessories on the tailgate
may push the tailgate down. The
sensor located in the tailgate detects
such downward movement of the
tailgate and puts the tailgate in this
mode. With this function activated,
you will hear a continuous beep.
Because the tailgate closes
automatically in this mode, it
prevents the tailgate from slamming
closed unexpectedly.

Instruments and Controls
Follow these precautions:
Do not install any accessories on
the tailgate.
Remove the snow built up on the
tailgate.
With this function activated, make
sure all occupants are clear of the
tailgate operating range until the
tailgate is fully closed.
If you try to close the tailgate
manually immediately after
opening automatically, the failsafe
mode may be activated.
If this function is activated
repeatedly or frequently, there
may be a problem of the tailgate.
Have your vehicle inspected by a
Honda dealer.
Additional Precautions
If you close the tailgate after you
have locked the driver's door, the
tailgate is also locked along with the
driver's door.
If you pull the tailgate release handle
while the tailgate is opening or
closing, it will stop moving. You need
to open or close the tailgate manually.
Do not install any accessories on the
tailgate. This will cause the tailgate
not to operate.
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected, goes dead, or the fuse
is removed, while the tailgate is fully-
open, the power tailgate needs to be
reset. After reconnecting the battery
or installing the fuse, close the
tailgate completely by hand.
