Convenient features of your vehicle
• The power trunk can be operat-
ed when the engine is not run-
ning. However, the power trunk
operation consumes a large
amount of electic power.
To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not oper-
ate it excessively (e.g. more than
5 times repeatedly).
• To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not leave
the power trunk in the open
position for a long time.
• Do not modify or repair any part
of the power trunk by yourself.
This must be done by an author-
ized retailer of Genesis Branded
products.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehi-
cle, do not operate the power
trunk. This could cause the
power trunk to operate improp-
erly.
• In cold and wet climates, the
power trunk may not work prop-
erly due to freezing conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power trunk is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
trunk will detect the resistance.
If resistance is detected while open-
ing or closing the power trunk, the
trunk will stop and move in the oppo-
site direction.
However, in some instances the
automatic reversal system may not
detect the object if it is too soft or is
very thin, or if the trunk is almost fully
closed near the latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent
any objects from obstructing the
trunk opeining.If the automatic reversal feature
operates more than 2 times while
attempting to open or close the
trunk, the power trunk may stop at
that position. If this occurs, carefully
close the trunk manually, and then
try to operate the power trunk auto-
matically again.
NOTICE
OIK048433
Never intentionally place any
object or part of your body in
the path of the power trunk to
make sure the automatic rever-
sal operates.
WARNING
Do not put heavy objects on the
power trunk before you operate
the power trunk feature.
Additional weight may damage
the operation of the system.
