SAFETY MECHANISM
If a person or luggage is caught while the electric tail-
gate is being closed automatically, or your finger is
caught at one of the tailgate sensors located at both
sides of electric tailgate, the warning buzzer will
sound once and then the tailgate will operate to the
opposite direction.
NOTE: When the safety mechanism is activated con-
secutively for twice, the operation is changed to the
manual operation. If the operation is changed to the
manual operation, fully opening or closing the elec-
tric tailgate once enables the automatic operation.
MECHANISM PREVENTING ELECTRIC
TAILGATE FROM LOWERING
If the electric tailgate is opened automatically to the
full position and then the electric tailgate control unit
detects that the tailgate is being lowered due to addi-
tional equipment on the tailgate or other reasons, the
warning buzzer will sound to warn the driver and
then the system will close the tailgate automatically.
NOTE: The mechanism, which prevents electric tail-
gate from lowering, may also operate if the tailgate
gas spring is too deteriorated to support the tailgate.
A MECHANISM PREVENTING A SUDDEN
OPENING AND CLOSING
If a poor system voltage occurs while the electric tail-
gate is being opened or closed automatically, the
system will inhibit the automatic operation. This may
cause the electric tailgate to stop or move intermit-
tently. With this feature, the mechanism will prevent
the electric tailgate from closing or opening suddenly.
