ommanding   an   automatic   opening   of  
t

he   tailgate.
The
  formation   of   ice   can   block   the  
t

ailgate   and   prevent   its   opening:   wait  
u

ntil   the   ice   melts   with   the   heating   of  
t

he

l

ock   your   vehicle   to   avoid   the   risk   of  
u

nexpected
 ope
ning.
Repeated
  opening   and   closing   of   the  
t

ailgate   can   cause   overheating   of   its  
e

lectric   motor,   after   which   opening   and  
c

losing   will   not   be   possible.
Allow
  10   minutes   for   the   motor   to   cool
