left slightly open, the back door closer will automatically close it to the fully closed position. It takes
several seconds before the back door closer begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-
thing else in the back door, as this may cause bone fractures or other serious injuries.
●Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when
the power back door system is can- celed.

area to make sure there are no obstacles or anything that could cause any of your belongings to get
caught.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make
sure they are safe and let them know that the back door is about to open or close
●If the power back door system is turned off while the back door is
operating automatically, the auto- matic operation is stopped. The back door then has to be operated
manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back door may open or close unexpectedly.
●If the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a buzzer may sound and the back
door may stop opening or closing. The back door then has to be oper-ated manually. Take extra care
when on an incline, as the back door may open or close abruptly.
●On an incline, the back door may suddenly shut after it opens. Make sure the back door is fully open and
secure.

the back door has to be operated manually. Take extra care in this sit-uation, as the back door may open
or close suddenly.
• When the back door contacts an
obstacle
• When the 12-volt battery voltage
suddenly drops, such as when the power switch is turned to ON or the EV system is started during auto-
matic operation
●If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy
object is attached to the back door, the power back door may not oper-ate, causing itself to malfunction, or
the back door may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, arms, head or
