• In cold and wet climates, the
power tailgate may not work prop-
erly due to freezing conditions.
• It is recommended to wait until
the power tailgate is fully closed
before starting the vehicle. The
power tailgate may not close fully
if the vehicle is started during
automatic closing.
Automatic reversal
During power opening and closing if
the power tailgate is blocked by an
object or part of the body, the power
tailgate will detect the resistance.
• If the resistance is detected while
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• If the resistance is detected while
closing the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as from an object that is thin or
soft, or the tailgate is near the latched
position, the automatic stop and rever-
sal may not detect the resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature
operates continuously more than
twice during opening or closing oper-
ation, the power tailgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
tailgate manually and operate the
tailgate automatically again.
OXMA043328
WARNING
Never place any object or part of
your body in the path of the
power tailgate as it is operating.
Doing so could result in personal
injury or damage to the vehicle.
