Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power tailgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
tailgate will detect the resistance.
• If the resistance is detected whilst
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• If the resistance is detected whilst
closing the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the tailgate is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and rever-
sal may not detect the resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature oper-
ates continuously more than twice
during opening or closing operation,
the power tailgate may stop at that
position. At this time, close the tailgate
manually and operate the tailgate
automatically again.
How to reset the power tailgate

disconnected, or if the related fuse
has been replaced or disconnected,
