✽NOTICE
• The power liftgate (power tailgate)
can be operated when the engine is
not running. However the power
liftgate (power tailgate) operation
consumes large amounts of vehicle
electric power. To prevent the bat-
tery from being discharged, do not
operate it excessively e.g.: more
than approximately 10 times
repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the power
liftgate (power tailgate) in the
open position for a long lime.
• Do not modify or repair any part of the power liftgate (power tail-
gate) by yourself. This must be
done by an authorized HYUNDAI

gate) will detect the resistance.
If the resistance is detected while
opening the liftgate (tailgate), it will
stop and move in the opposite
direction.
If the resistance is detected while closing the liftgate (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 liftgate (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 liftgate (power tailgate) may
stop at that position. At this time, close
the liftgate (tailgate) manually and
operate the liftgate (tailgate) automat-
ically again.
