Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power liftgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
liftgate will detect the resistance.
If the resistance is detected whileopening the liftgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
If the resistance is detected while closing the liftgate, 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 is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and
reversal may not detect the resist-
ance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power liftgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
liftgate manually and operate the lift-
gate automatically again.

tions. The sensor mounted in the mir-
ror senses the light level around the

mirror.
Whenever the shift lever is shifted
into reverse (R), the mirror will auto-
