Memorising an
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low c
eiling, ...) it is possible to limit and memorise
t
he opening angle of the motorised tailgate.
This
memorisation is done as follows:
-
o
pen the tailgate to the desired position,
-
p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more
than 3 seconds.
Memorisation
of the maximum opening position
o
f the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal.
To
cancel the memorised position:
-
s
top the tailgate in an intermediate
p
osition,
-
p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more
than 3 seconds.
Cancellation of the memorised position is
confirmed
by an audible signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and closed manually, even if motorised operation is
activated.
However, any manual intervention must be
done
with the tailgate stopped.
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
down
before
operating
the
tailgate
ag
ain.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be en countered, the anti-pinch system interrupts
the
closing movement and raises the tailgate a
f
ew centimetres to clear the obstacle. When
opening and closing a motorised tailgate
m
anually, there is no assistance from gas-filled
s
truts. Resistance to opening and closing is
t
herefore entirely normal.
