 Note

Consider the roof height when using electrical operation. Do not use electrical operation of the tailgate under a low roof height, see under the heading "Interrupt opening/closing of tailgate".

 Note

  • If the system has been operating continuously for a long time, it is switched off to avoid overload. It can be used again after about 3 minutes.
  • If the starter battery has been discharged or disconnected when the tailgate has been open then it must be closed manually in order to reset the system. This also applies if the tailgate has been open for more than 24 hours.

Programmable max. opening

Tailgate maximum opening position can be programmed. Can be used for e.g. low roof height in a garage. Proceed as follows:

  • Open the tailgate manually, hold it in the desired position and give the button on the tailgate one long press (at least 3 seconds) and then release the tailgate - the programming is complete.
  • To delete the programming - move the tailgate manually to a higher position and give the button on the tailgate one long press (at least 3 seconds) and then release the tailgate - the programming is complete.

Pinch protection

If something with sufficient resistance prevents the tailgate from opening/closing then the pinch protection is activated.

  • During opening - power tailgate operation is deactivated and the tailgate is disengaged.
  • During closing - the tailgate stops and then opens fully.

 Warning

Observe the risk of trapping when opening/closing. Before starting opening/closing, check that there is nobody near to the tailgate as trapping may have serious consequences.

Always operate the tailgate with caution.
