 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

The maximum opening height of the tailgate can be adjusted, e.g. to suit a low ceiling height in a garage.

To adjust max. opening:
Open the tailgate - stop it in the open position.
Press the P5-1507 Power Operated Tailgate - close only button button on the underside of the tailgate for at least 3 seconds.
The stored position is thereby saved.
To reset max. opening:
Manually move the tailgate to its highest possible position - press the P5-1507 Power Operated Tailgate - close only button button on the tailgate for at least 3 seconds.
The reset is complete. The tailgate will then assume its max. position when opened.

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 stops.
  • 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.
