CAUTION
●
The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object
that is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.
●
The sensors located on the right and left sides of the power back door detect
obstructions and prevent them from becoming jammed in the door. Some objects
may not be detected depending on their shape or how they are jammed. Be care-
ful not to get fingers or other body parts caught in the back door while it is oper-
ating as this may result in a serious injury.
NOTICE

Back door damper stays

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the back door damper stay, resulting in mal-
function.
