Features of your vehicle CAUTION • The power tailgate can be operated when the engine is not running. However the power operation consumes large amounts of vehicle electric power. To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not operate it excessively e.g.: more than approximately 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 apply excessive force while operating the power tailgate. This could cause damage to the power tailgate. • Do not modify or repair any part of the power tailgate by yourself. This must be done by an authorized HYUNDAI 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 tailgate to operate improperly. If the automatic stop and reversal feature operates continuously more than twice during one opening or closing operation, the power tailgate may stop at that position. At this time, close the tailgate manually and operate the tailgate automatically again. WARNING OEN036049 D070401AEN Automatic stop and reversal If, during power opening or closing, the tailgate is blocked by an object or part of the body, the power tailgate will detect the resistance, then the chime will sound 3 times, and it will stop movement or move to the full open position to allow the object to be cleared. 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 and the closing operation will continue. Also, if the power tailgate is forced by a strong impact, the automatic stop and reversal may operate. • Never intentionally place any object or part of your body in the path of the power tailgate to make sure the automatic stop operates. • Make sure all faces, arms, hands, body parts and any other obstructions are safely out of the way before operating the power tailgate. • Never place any object or part of your body in the path of the power tailgate. This could result in serious injury or cause damage to the vehicle. • Make sure there are no people or objects around the tailgate before operating the power tailgate. Have rear passengers or cargo get in or out of the vehicle only after the tailgate is open fully and stopped. 4 21
