Power Operated Tailgate - Volvo XC 70 Owner's Manual

Power operated tailgate

The car's tailgate can be opened/closed by
means of a button on the lighting panel and
on the remote control key
NOTE
Consider the roof height when using elec-
trical operation. Do not use electrical oper-
ation of the tailgate under a low roof
height, see under the heading "Interrupt
opening/closing of tailgate".
NOTE
•
If the system has been operating con-
tinuously for a long time, it is switched
off to avoid overload. It can be used
again after about 2 minutes.
•
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected then the tailgate must be
opened and closed again to reset the
system.
Programmable max. opening
Tailgate maximum opening position can be
programmed. Can be used for e.g. low roof
height in a garage. Proceed as follows:
•
Open the tailgate manually, hold it in the
desired position and give the button on
the tailgate one long press (at least 3 sec-
onds) and then release the tailgate - the
programming is complete.
•
To clear the programming - move the tail-
gate manually to a higher position.
Snow and wind
If the tailgate is forced down by something
just when it is being opened, e.g. snow, ice or
strong wind, and this causes the tailgate to
lower, then it is closed automatically.
Pinch protection
If something with sufficient resistance pre-
vents the tailgate from opening/closing then
the pinch protection is activated.
06 Locks and alarm
•
During opening - power tailgate operation
is deactivated and the tailgate is disen-
gaged.
•
When closing - the tailgate stops and
backs off from the obstacle a couple of
centimetres.
WARNING
Observe the risk of trapping when open-
ing/closing. Before starting opening/clos-
ing, check that there is nobody near to the
tailgate as trapping may have serious con-
sequences.
Always operate the tailgate with caution.
Opening the tailgate
The tailgate can be opened three
ways (two of which involve this but-
ton):
•
Long press on the button in the lighting
panel - hold the button depressed until
the tailgate starts to open.
•
Long press on the button on the remote
control key - hold the button depressed
until the tailgate starts to open.
•
Push down gently on the rubberised
pressure plate under the outer handle.
