NOTICE
• The power liftgate can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However, power liftgate operation
consumes a large amount of eclectic
power. To prevent the battery from
being discharged, do not operate it
excessively (e.g. more than 5 times
repeatedly).
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
liftgate in the open position for a
long time.
• Do not modify or repair any part
of the power liftgate by yourself.
This must be done by an authorized
retailer of Genesis Branded products.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle, do
not operate the power liftgate. This
could cause the power liftgate to
operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the power
liftgate may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
Automatic reverse
OJX1059048LOJX1059048L
During power opening or closing if the
power liftgate senses any obstacle, the
power liftgate will stop and move in the
opposite direction.
The auto reverse function may not work
if objects are too soft or thin, or if the
liftgate is almost fully closed near the
latched position.
Caution should be taken to prevent any
objects from obstructing the liftgate
opening.
If the automatic reverse feature operates
more than two times while attempting

Never intentionally place any object
or part of your body in the path of
the power liftgate to make sure the
automatic reverse function operates.
