may malfunction.
. Do not touch the driving rod.
Doing so may result in injury or
damage.
The power rear gate operates only when
all of the following conditions are satisfied.
. The vehicle is stopped completely.
. The outside temperature is within a
range from −22 8F to 1408 F (from−30 8Cto
60 8C).

“OFF ”or “ACC ”position. Or, the ignition
switch is in the “ON”position and the

We recommend using the power rear gate
function in most circumstances instead of
manual operation.
NOTE
. Do not press the power rear gate
button repeatedly while the power rear
gate is operating. Otherwise, the sys-
tem may ignore the button operation in
order to avoid being damaged.
. It is not possible to stop the rear
gate temporarily while opening be-
tween the completely closed position
and approximately 2 in (5 cm) open. If you press one of the power rear gate
buttons briefly during this range, the
rear gate will be closed.
.
If the vehicle starts to move while
the power rear gate is operating, the
system sounds a buzzer and closes the
rear gate automatically. At this time, if
the system detects jamming, it will
deactivate the power rear gate and the
rear gate will not be closed. If this
occurs, close the rear gate manually.
For details, refer to “Manual rear gate”
F 2-41.
. If you try to open the rear gate using
the power rear gate function immedi-
ately after closing the rear gate using
the power rear gate function, an elec-
tronic chirp will sound and the rear
gate will not open. Wait for a while
before trying to open the rear gate via
the power rear gate function.
. If either of the operating conditions
has not been satisfied while operating
the power rear gate, an electronic chirp
will sound and the power rear gate will
be deactivated. In this case, the rear
gate may stop opening or closing
suddenly. !
Operation
NOTE
.The rear gate will remain unlocked
even after closing it. Always lock the
rear gate when leaving the vehicle.
. If you cannot open/close the rear
gate by performing the operation de-
scribed here, a short electronic chirp
will sound three times (beep, beep,
beep).
