NOTICE
If the system is operated too often in succession, it will shut itself off to help prevent overheat-ing.
x The feature can be used again as soon as the system has cooled down. In the meantime, the rear hatch can be opened or closed by hand, though this requires some strength.
x If the vehicle battery or the fuse is blown when the rear hatch is open, the rear hatch system must be reset. To reset the rear hatch, it must be closed once.
Make sure that the remote control vehicle key is not in the luggage compartment before closing the rear hatch.
