Automatic stop and Reverse
If, during power opening or closing,
the liftgate is blocked by an object or
part of someone’s body, the power
liftgate will detect the resistance and
it will stop movement or move to the
full open position to allow the object
to be cleared.
However, if an object is thin or soft,
or the liftgate is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and
reversal may not detect the resist-
ance and the closing operation will
continue. If the power liftgate is
forced by a strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.If the automatic stop and reverse fea-
ture operates more than twice during
one opening or closing operation, the
power liftgate may stop at that posi-
tion.
If this occurs, close the liftgate man-
ually and operate the liftgate auto-
matically again.
How to reset the power liftgate
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the related fuse
has been replaced or disconnected,
for the power liftgate to operate nor-
mally, reset the power liftgate as fol-
lows:
1.Push the P(Parking) button.
2. While Pressing the liftgate close
button, press the liftgate handle
switch for more than 3 seconds.
(the chime will sound)
3. Close the liftgate manually.
If the power liftgate does not work
properly after the above procedure,
have the system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
