During power opening and closing if the
power tailgate is blocked by an object
or part of the body, the power tailgate
will detect the resistance.
• If the resistance is detected while
opening the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
• If the resistance is detected while
closing the tailgate, it will stop and
move in the opposite direction.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the tailgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may
not detect the resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature oper‐
ates continuously more than twice dur‐
ing the opening or closing operation,
the power tailgate may stop at that
position. At this time, close the tailgate
manually and operate the tailgate au‐
tomatically again.
WARNING
• Never intentionally place any ob‐
ject or part of your body in the
path of the power tailgate to
make sure the automatic reversal
operates.
• Never operate the power tailgate
attached with any heavy objects
(ex. Bicycles). It could damage the
power tailgate.
How to reset the power tailgate
If the battery has been discharged or
disconnected, or if the related fuse has
been replaced or disconnected, for the
power tailgate to operate normally, re‐
set the power tailgate as follows:
1. Automatic Transaxle/Dual clutch
transmission:
Put the shift lever in P (Park).
Manual Transaxle:
Put the shift lever in N (Neutral).
2. While pressing the tailgate close
button, press the tailgate handle
switch for more than 3 seconds.
(the chime will sound)
3. Close the tailgate manually.
If the power tailgate does not work
properly after the above procedure, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized Kia dealer.
NOTICE
If the power tailgate does not oper‐
ate normally, check again if the gear
position is in the right position.
