NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the power back door
●Make sure that there is no ice between the back door and frame that would pre-
vent movement of the back door. Operating the power back door when exces-
sive load is present on the back door may cause a malfunction.
●Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the power back door is oper-
ating.
●Take care not to damage the sensors (installed on the right and left edges of the
power back door) with a knife or other sharp object. If the sensor is disconnected,
the power back door will not operate in automatic operation.
●When manually closing the back door immediately after the power back door
has been automatically opened fully, some resistance may be felt.
