height, press and hold the power rear
gate button on the inside edge of the rear
gate until an electronic chirp is heard and
the hazard warning flashers flash three
times. The electronic chirp and the flash-
ing hazard warning flashers confirm the

tered.
4. Close the rear gate manually (without
using the power rear gate).

To change the registered height,
perform the registering procedure
again.

It is possible to register the height
from approximately 12 in (30 cm) or
more from the completely closed posi-
tion.
.
Before closing the rear gate in step
4, it is possible to register the height
many times through step 3. Therefore,
the registered height can easily be fine-
tuned.
Retrieval of the rear gate height:
To open the rear gate and stop it at the
registered height, perform the following
procedure.
1. Press the memory switch to select the
ON status.
2. Press and hold any of the power rear
gate switches.
Even if any of the power rear gate
switches are pressed and held while the
memory switch is in the OFF status, you
can stop it at the registered height by
pressing the memory switch to select the
ON status before the rear gate reaches
the registered height.
NOTE
.
The rear gate will open to the
position that is stored in the memory
function even if the rear gate is opened
by the reverse function.
.
If the rear gate is opened manually
while the memory function is activated,
you cannot close it by pressing the
power rear gate button on the rear gate.
To close it, press the other power rear
gate button or close it manually.
