switch or various switches for the
vehicle.
The power liftgate has 3 functions.
Hands-free function
*
The liftgate can be opened and closed
by doing a kicking motion when both
hands are occupied, such as when
holding groceries or luggage.
Liftgate easy closure
The easy closure assists in closing the
liftgate.
When you close the liftgate to the
position where it is slightly ajar, it will
finish closing automatically to the
fully-closed position.
NOTE
If the liftgate is opened/closed
repeatedly in a short period of time,
the easy closure function may not
operate. Wait for about 2 seconds and
then try again.
Jam-safe function
The jam-safe function detects a person
or obstruction to prevent the person or
object from getting caught in the
liftgate.
When the jam-safe function detects
that a person or object is caught in the
liftgate while it is opening/closing
automatically, a warning sound is
activated and the liftgate moves in the
reverse direction, and then stops.
NOTE
The jam-safe function does not
operate while the easy closure is
operating (from ajar position to fully
closed position).
Warnings and Cautionsfor Using the Power Liftgate
WARNING
Always check the safety of the area
around the liftgate before operating/
closing it automatically.
Not checking the safety of the area
around the liftgate for people before
opening/closing the liftgate
automatically is dangerous. A person
could become caught between the
liftgate and an obstruction while it is
opening automatically or between the
liftgate and vehicle while it is closing
automatically, resulting in an accident
and serious injury.
Keep your eyes on the liftgate when
opening/closing the liftgate
automatically.
If there is an obstruction, the liftgate
may not fully close due to the jam-safe
function. Driving the vehicle with the
liftgate not fully closed is dangerous as
a person or an object could fall out of
the vehicle resulting in a serious
accident, injury, or death.
Do not let a child operate the
switches.
If the liftgate is opened/closed
unexpectedly by a child operating the
switches mistakenly, the child or
another occupant's head or hands
could get caught, resulting in an
accident and serious injury.
