Drop prevention mechanism
After the electric tailgate is opened automati-
cally, if it is detected that the tailgate is drop-
ping due to factors such as accumulated snow, the electric tailgate is closed automati-
cally.
A warning buzzer sounds continuously while the drop prevention mechanism operates.
NOTEl If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-
gate, remove it before operation.
l Do not install accessories other than
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE parts
on the electric tailgate. Some accessories could be too heavy, causing the drop preven-
tion mechanism to operate.
l The drop prevention mechanism could be
activated if manual operation is attempted immediately after the electric tailgate is
completely opened automatically.Sudden operation prevention
mechanism
If the engine is started while the electric tail-
gate is operating automatically, it may switch to manual operation due to insufficient bat-
tery voltage, making the electric tailgate stop intermittently while it moves. This is to stop
the electric tailgate from operating suddenly. When the tailgate is completely closed or
opened, automatic operation is again possible after approximately 10 seconds.
CAUTIONl The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the sudden operation prevention mechanism
is operating. Therefore be especially careful
not to trap a hand or finger at this time.Manual operation

assisting the closing of the electric tailgate.
If the electric tailgate is closed to a position
where it is detected as being ajar, it closes au- tomatically.

gers when the electric tailgate closes auto- matically from the door ajar position. If

easy closer, pull the handle of the electric tailgate. The electric tailgate will return to
the door ajar position.CAUTIONl Do not touch the latch (A) on the inside of
the electric tailgate. The tailgate easy closer
could operate and catch your fingers.NOTEl The tailgate easy closer operates even when
the electric tailgate power switch is OFF.NOTEl Repeated continuous operation of the handle
could activate the protection circuit and tem-
porarily prevent the tailgate easy closer from
operating.
If this occurs, wait about 1 minute before
operating the tailgate easy closer again.Inside tailgate release
