After the electric tailgate is opened automati-
cally, if it is detected that the tailgate drops
due to factors such as accumulated snow, the
electric tailgate is closed automatically.
The warning buzzer sounds continuously
while the drop prevention mechanism oper-
ates.

If the engine is started while the electric tail-
gate is operating automatically, it may switch
to manual operation due to insufficient bat-
tery voltage, making the electric tailgate stop
intermittently while it moves. This is to stop
the electric tailgate from operating suddenly.
After the tailgate is fully open or close, nor-
mal automatic operation is possible again
approximately 10 seconds later.

If the safety mechanism is repeatedly acti-
vated, the tailgate could be switched to man-
ual operation. Be careful at this time, as the
electric tailgate could open or close sud-
denly, depending on its position.
Once the electric tailgate is fully open or
closed, normal automatic operation is possi-
ble again.
NOTE
If the environment or usage conditions sub-
ject the sensors to the same kind of force as
that of trapping a person or object, the safety
mechanism could be activated.
Do not damage the sensors when loading or
unloading luggage, or when cleaning the rear
window. Doing so could prevent the tailgate
from closing automatically.
Drop prevention mechanism
CAUTION
NOTE
If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-
gate, remove it before operation.
The drop prevention mechanism could be
activated if manual operation is attempted
immediately after the electric tailgate is fully
opened automatically.
Sudden operation prevention mech-
anism
CAUTION
The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the sudden operation prevention mechanism
is operating. Therefore be especially careful
not to trap a hand or finger at this time.
