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.
