Always confirm the safety of the area
around the power liftgate before
operating it electrically.
Not checking the area around the
liftgate for people before operating it
using the power liftgate switch or the
button on the keyless entry system is
dangerous. A person could become
caught between the liftgate and an
obstruction while it is opening
electrically or between the liftgate and
vehicle while it is closing electrically,
resulting in an accident and serious
injury.
Never allow children to operate the
power liftgate system:
Allowing children to operate the
power liftgate switch and the keyless
entry system is dangerous. Children are
not aware of the dangers of people
getting
fingers and hands caught in a
moving liftgate. If someone's neck,
head or hands get caught in a closing
door, it could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION
¾When closing the power liftgate,
make sure there are no foreign
objects around the striker. If foreign
objects are obstructing the striker,
the liftgate may not close properly.
1. Striker
¾Do not install accessories to the
power liftgate other than specified
accessories. Otherwise, it cannot be
opened/closed automatically and
could result in a malfunction.
¾Be careful when switching the power
liftgate from electrical to manual
operation. The power liftgate may
open/close unexpectedly depending
on its position which could result in
injury.
NOTE
xDo not apply unnecessary force to
the power liftgate when it is
opening/closing electrically.
Unnecessary force on the liftgate
may cause it to reverse direction of
movement automatically. Also, it
could result in a malfunction.
xThe power liftgate may not open/
close electrically if the vehicle is
parked on an incline, or there is
strong wind, or the liftgate is laden
with snow.
xIf a power liftgate system fuse has
blown, the liftgate cannot be opened
using the power liftgate switch or the
electric liftgate opener. Use the
emergency lever to open the liftgate.
xFully close the power liftgate before
disconnecting the vehicle battery. If
the battery is disconnected with the
liftgate open, it cannot be opened or
closed automatically after the battery
is reconnected. If this happens, fully
close the liftgate manually to restore
the auto full open/close function.
xIf the system detects weight such as
that caused by a snow-laden liftgate
when it is opened electrically, after
the beep activates three times, the
liftgate stops after reversing.
xIf the power liftgate is snow-laden,
remove the snow before operating
the liftgate.
