Memorising an
opening position
Where height is restricted (garage with a low c
eiling, ...) it is possible to limit and memorise
t
he opening angle of the motorised tailgate.
This
memorisation is done as follows:
-
o
pen the tailgate to the desired position,
-
p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more
than 3 seconds.
Memorisation
of the maximum opening position
o
f the tailgate is confirmed by an audible signal.
To
cancel the memorised position:
-
s
top the tailgate in an intermediate
p
osition,
-
p
ress button C or the exterior control B for
more
than 3 seconds.
Cancellation
of the memorised position is
c
onfirmed by an audible signal.
Manual operation
The motorised tailgate can be opened and closed manually, even if motorised operation is
a
ctivated.
However,
any manual intervention must be
d
one with the tailgate stopped.
Repeated
opening
and
closing
of
the
t
ailgate
can
cause
overheating
of
its
e
lectric
motor,
after
which
opening
and
c
losing
will
not
be
possible.
Allow
10
minutes
for
the
motor
to
cool
d
own
before
operating
the
tailgate
ag
ain.
If you are not able to wait, operate it
manually.
Detection of obstacles
Should an obstacle (person or object) be e ncountered, the anti-pinch system interrupts
t
he closing movement and raises the tailgate a
f
ew centimetres to clear the obstacle. When
opening and closing a motorised tailgate
m
anually, there is no assistance from gas-filled
s
truts. Resistance to opening and closing is
t
herefore entirely normal.
