Press the power liftgate close but-
ton for approximately one second
when the liftgate is opened.
The liftgate will close and lock
automatically.
Power liftgate Non-Opening or
Closing Conditions :
The power liftgate will not open or
close automatically, when the vehi-
cle is moving more than 2 mph (3
km/h).
The power liftgate can be operated
when the engine is not running.
However, the power liftgate opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from draining, do not
operate it excessively (e.g., more
than approximately 10 times
repeatedly).
Do not modify or repair any part of
the power liftgate by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized Kia
dealer.
Before jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the power liftgate. Do not
operate the power liftgate when the
vehicle is raised or this could
cause the power liftgate to operate
improperly. If there are obstacles such as
snow on the power liftgate, it may
not open automatically. After
removing the obstacle, try to open
it again.

Automatic stop and Reverse
If, during power opening or closing,
the liftgate is blocked by an object or
part of someone’s body, the power
liftgate will detect the resistance and
it will stop movement or move to the
full open position to allow the object
to be cleared.
However, if an object is thin or soft,
or the liftgate is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and
reversal may not detect the resist-
ance and the closing operation will
continue. If the power liftgate is
forced by a strong impact, the auto-
matic stop and reversal may operate.If the automatic stop and reverse fea-
ture operates more than twice during
one opening or closing operation, the
power liftgate may stop at that posi-
tion.
If this occurs, close the liftgate man-
ually and operate the liftgate auto-
matically again.
How to reset the power liftgate
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the related fuse
has been replaced or disconnected,
for the power liftgate to operate nor-
mally, reset the power liftgate as fol-
lows:
1.Push the P(Parking) button.
2. While Pressing the liftgate close
button, press the liftgate handle
switch for more than 3 seconds.
(the chime will sound)
3. Close the liftgate manually.
If the power liftgate does not work
properly after the above procedure,
have the system checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
