Black plate (116,1)
NOTE
If the system repeatedly detects an object
obstructing the power liftgate in the open/close
direction several times, the beep sound will be
heard and the system changes to manual
operation.
Power liftgate drop prevention
mechanism
The power liftgate drop prevention
mechanism activates if the system detects
weight such as that caused by a snow-
laden liftgate when it is opened
electrically. After the liftgate is fully
opened, the beep sound will be heard and
the liftgate closes automatically.
NOTE
l
If the power liftgate is snow-laden, remove
the snow before operating the liftgate.
l
Trying to force the power liftgate closed
manually immediately after it has fully
opened automatically may activate the
liftgate drop prevention mechanism.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
Liftgate easy closure
The Easy Closure system automatically
closes the liftgate completely from the
near-shut position.
This system also operates when the
liftgate is closed manually.
WARNING
When closing a liftgate, always keep
hands and fingers away from the
liftgate:
Placing hands or fingers around a
liftgate is dangerous because the
liftgate closes automatically from the
near-shut position, which could
cause hands and fingers to be
pinched and injured.
NOTE
l
If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
easy closure function is operating, the
liftgate can be opened.
l
If the liftgate is opened/closed repeatedly in
a short period of time, the easy closure
function may not operate. Wait for a while
and then try again.
