Adjusting Tailgate Unlocked Proximity Switch
MINIMAX™ vehicles are equipped with a tailgate proximity switch located on the back left-hand side
body corner. When the tailgate is being unlocked (see Figure 3-41), the cylinder pushes the plate
downward which triggers the proximity switch. This switch then activates the backup alarm and a
warning buzzer inside the cab.
When the tailgate is being locked, the plate goes upward (see Figure 3-40). As the proximity switch is
no more triggered by the plate, the warning buzzer and the backup alarm stop sounding.
Caution
Make sure the shut-off valve on the suction line is fully open before starting the vehicle.
Warning!
Ensure that no one is standing behind or near the tailgate when the adjustment procedure
is carried out.
