ance and the closing operation will
continue. Also, if the power trunk is
forced by a strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.If the automatic stop and reversal
feature operates continuously more
than twice during opening or closing
operation, the power trunk may stop
at that position. At this time, close the
