Power tailgate non-opening
conditions
The power tailgate will not open or
close automatically, when the vehicle is
moving more than 3 km/h (2 mph).
WARNING
The chime will sound continuously if
you drive over 3 km/h (2 mph) with
the tailgate opened. Stop your vehi‐
cle immediately at a safe place and
check if your tailgate is opened.
CAUTION
Do not operate the power tailgate
more than 5 times continuously.
It may damage the power tailgate
system. If you operate the power

NOTICE
• The power tailgate can be operat‐
ed when the engine is not running.
However the power tailgate oper‐
ation consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being dis‐
charged, do not operate it exces‐
sively e.g.: more than approxi‐
mately 10 times repeatedly.
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the power
tailgate in the open position for a
long lime.
• Do not modify or repair any part
of the power tailgate by yourself.
We recommend that you contact
an authorized Kia dealer.
• When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power tailgate.
This could cause the power tail‐
gate to operate improperly.
• In cold and wet climates, the pow‐
er tailgate may not work properly
due to freezing conditions.
