Operating faults
If you activate the automatic tailgate
continuouslyforaroundaminute(se-
quence of opening and closing), it will
stop in order to avoid overheating. The
operation will return to normal after
about a minute.
The automatic tailgate will not operate
if the battery is on low charge. In this
case, operate the automatic tailgate
with the engine started.
Note: in very cold weather conditions,
the automatic opening may not work if
the tailgate seals are frozen.
