CAUTION

Sensors are installed on both ends of
the power liftgate. Be careful not to
allow the sensors to be scratched or
damaged by sharp objects, otherwise
the liftgate may no longer open/close
automatically. In addition, if the
sensor is damaged while the liftgate
is closing automatically, the system
changes to manual operation.

Sensor

NOTE

The jam-safe equipment does not activate
during easy closure operation when the power
liftgate is between the door-ajar position and
fully closed position.

When the power liftgate is moving in the
open/close direction and an obstruction is
detected, the beep sound will be heard and
the liftgate moves in the reverse direction.

NOTE

If the system repeatedly detects an object
obstructing the power liftgate in the open/close
direction several times, the beep sound will be
heard and the system changes to manual
operation.

Power liftgate drop prevention
mechanism

The power liftgate drop prevention
mechanism activates if the system detects
weight such as that caused by a snow-
laden liftgate when it is opened
electrically. After the liftgate is fully
opened, the beep sound will be heard and
the liftgate closes automatically.

NOTE

l

If the power liftgate is snow-laden, remove
the snow before operating the liftgate.

l

Trying to force the power liftgate closed
manually immediately after it has fully
opened automatically may activate the
liftgate drop prevention mechanism.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.

Liftgate easy closure

The Easy Closure system automatically
closes the liftgate completely from the
near-shut position.
This system also operates when the
liftgate is closed manually.

WARNING

When closing a liftgate, always keep
hands and fingers away from the
liftgate:

Placing hands or fingers around a
liftgate is dangerous because the
liftgate closes automatically from the
near-shut position, which could
cause hands and fingers to be
pinched and injured.
