Information
• The power tailgate can be operatedwhen the engine is not running.
However the power tailgate opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being discharged,
do not operate it excessively. (e.g.:
more than approximately 10 times
repeatedly.)
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the power
tailgate in the open position for a
long time.
• Do not modify or repair any part of the power tailgate by yourself. We
recommend that you contact a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tyre or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power tailgate.
This could cause the power tailgate
to operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power tailgate may not work properly due
to freezing conditions.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power tailgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
tailgate will detect the resistance.
• If the resistance is detected whilstopening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• If the resistance is detected whilst closing the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction. However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the tailgate is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and rever-
sal may not detect the resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power tailgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
tailgate manually and operate the
tailgate automatically again.
