Auto reverse function
The auto-reverse function enables the liftgate to
automatically reverse when something is caught
in the liftgate as it is opening or closing. When
the control unit detects an obstacle, the liftgate
will reverse and return to the full open or full
close position.
If a second obstacle is detected, the liftgate
motion will stop and the drive motor will
disengage. The liftgate will enter the manual
mode.
A pinch sensor is mounted on each side of the
liftgate. If an object is detected by the pinch
sensor during power close, the liftgate will
reverse and return to the full open position
immediately.
NOTE:
If the pinch sensor is damaged or removed,
the power close function will not operate.
WARNING
There is a small distance immediately
before the closed position that cannot
be detected. Make sure that all passen-
gers keep their hands, etc., clear from
the liftgate opening before closing the
liftgate.
Manual mode
If power operation is not available, the liftgate
can be operated manually. Power operation may
not be available if multiple obstacles have been
detected in a single power cycle or if the battery
voltage is low. When the power door main
switch is in the OFF position, the liftgate can be
opened manually by pushing the liftgate opener
switch. If the power liftgate opener switch is
pushed during power open or close, the power
operation will be canceled and the liftgate can
be operated manually.
