lift gate. The lift gate may close un-
expectedly and may result in personal
injury.

person, confirm the garage mode func-
tion before opening the lift gate in a
location with low clearance. The lift gate
can be damaged if the previous driver
changed or canceled the setting.
. If the switch is pressed two times
quickly (1 second or less) when opening
the lift gate from the fully closed
position, the system may not recognize
the second switch press. The lift gate
will continue to open. This is normal
operation and does not indicate a mal-

function. However, this may result in
minor personal injury if someone is
behind the vehicle when the switch is
activated, or damage to the lift gate.
NOTE:
.To avoid damaging the lift gate system,
do not manually force the lift gate to
open or close when the lift gate is
moving. When manually operating the
lift gate from the full close or full open
position, do not use excessive force.
Using excessive force may damage the
system.
. Do not install accessories such as bike
racks onto the lift gate. The additional
weight of these accessories may cause
the lift gate to operate slowly or to not
open completely. This is a normal
operation and does not indicate a
malfunction. The lift gate will operate
normally when the accessory is re-
moved.
. If the lift gate is opened when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope, the
lift gate may not open to the expected
position. This is a normal operation
and does not indicate a malfunction. .
If the automatic lift gate is operated
continuously for approximately 180
seconds, the system automatically
turns off to prevent overheating. The
lift gate cannot be opened using the
switches. The system resets and opera-
tion returns to normal after approxi-
mately 180 seconds. This is a normal
operation and does not indicate a
malfunction.
. The lift gate may automatically reverse
direction if the lift gate is operating
and passengers enter/exit the vehicle.
This is a normal operation and does
not indicate a malfunction.
. The lift gate must be operated manually
if the battery is disconnected or
discharged.
. If the lift gate is not activated due to a
low voltage (less than approximately
11V), operate the lift gate with the
engine running.
Manual mode
If power operation is not available, the lift
gate can be operated manually. Power
operation may not be available if multiple
obstacles have been detected in a single
power cycle or if the battery voltage is low. When the power lift gate main switch is in
the OFF position, the lift gate can be
opened manually by pushing the lift gate
opener switch. If the power lift gate opener
switch is pushed during power open or
close, the power operation will be canceled
and the lift gate can be operated manually.
AUTO CLOSURE
If the lift gate is pulled down to a partly
open position, the lift gate will pull itself to
the closed position.
Do not apply excessive force when the
auto closure is operating. Excessive force
applied may cause the mechanism to
malfunction.
CAUTION
.
The lift gate will automatically close
from a partly open position. To avoid
pinching, keep hands and fingers away
from lift gate opening.
. Do not let children operate the lift gate.
