NOTICE
• The power sliding door and power
tailgate can be operated when the
engine is not running. However the
power operation consumes large
amounts of vehicle electric power. To
prevent the battery from being dis-
charged, do not operate them exces-
sively e.g.: more than approximately
10 times repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being dis- charged, do not leave the power slid-
ing door and power tailgate at open
position for a long lime.
• Do not apply excessive force while operating the power sliding door or
power tailgate. This could cause dam-
age to the power sliding door or power
tailgate.
• Do not modify or repair any part of the power sliding door or power tail-
gate by yourself. This must be done by
an authorized Kia dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power sliding door or
power tailgate. This could cause the
power sliding door or power tailgate
to operate improperly.
Automatic stop and reversal
If the power opening or closing is blocked
by an object or part of the body, the
power sliding door and power tailgate will
detect the resistance, then the chime will
sound 3 times, and stop movement or
move to the full open position to allow the
object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as an object that is thin or soft, or the
door is near latched position, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may not detect
the resistance and closing operation will
continue. Also, if the power sliding door
or power tailgate is forced by strong
impact, the automatic stop and reversal
may operate.
If the automatic stop and reversal feature
operates continuously more than twice
during one opening or closing operation,
the power sliding door or power tailgate
may stop at that position. At this time,
close the doors manually and operate
the door automatically again.
