5.8.3 Anti-Pinch Protection
If a severe impact or constant force is applied from outside the
vehicle during the power tailgate operation, the tailgate stops
moving or moves up to the fully open position automatically.
However, this anti-pinch protection function may not work in a
certain part of the tailgate path where resistance force applied is
insufficient to change the movement direction or the tailgate is
almost closed.
If the anti-pinch protection operation is repeated, open or close
the tailgate manually to check if the tailgate operates normally.
Do not put objects or part of your body in the tailgate path
intentionally during power tailgate operation to check the anti-
pinch protection operation.
