Power operated tailgate
Note
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 2 minutes.
- If the battery has been discharged or disconnected then the tailgate must be opened and closed again to reset the system.
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 clear the programming - move the tailgate manually to a higher position.
Snow and wind
If the tailgate is forced down by something just when it is being opened, e.g. snow, ice or strong wind, and this causes the tailgate to lower, then it is closed automatically.
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.
- When closing - the tailgate stops and backs off from the obstacle a couple of centimetres.
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.

The tailgate can be opened three ways (two of which involve this button):

Closing the tailgate

- Press the tailgate's button

Manual tailgate operation
