Features of your vehicle
Power tailgate non-opening con-ditions The power tailgate will not open or close automatically, when the vehicle
is moving more than 3km/h (2mph).
 If you press the power tailgate off button (1), the power tailgate will
not open or close automatically.
✽ ✽ NOTICE• The power tailgate can be operat-
ed when 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.
This must be done by an author-
ized Kia dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power tailgate.
This could cause the power tail-
gate to operate improperly. (Continued)
