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.
• 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
dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power liftgate
(power tailgate). This could cause
the power liftgate (power tailgate)
to operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power liftgate (power tailgate) may
not work properly due to freezing
conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate (power tailgate) is
blocked by an object or part of the
body, the power liftgate (power tail-
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 reversal may not detect the
resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power liftgate (power tail-
gate) may stop at that position. At
this time, close the liftgate (tailgate)
manually and operate the liftgate
(tailgate) automatically again.
