CAUTION

■

Back door closer

●

Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when the power

back door system is cancelled.

■

Power back door

Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.

Failure to do so may cause serious injury.

●

Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or

anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back

door is about to open or close.

●

If the power back door switch is pressed while the back door is opening during

automatic operation, the back door stops opening. Take extra care when on an

incline, as the back door may open or close suddenly.

●

If the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a buzzer

may sound and the back door may stop opening or closing. The back door then

has to be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the back door

may move abruptly.

●

If the power back door main switch is turned off while the power back door is

operating, the back door will change to manual operation. In this case, be careful

as the back door may move suddenly.

●

On an incline, the back door may fall after it opens automatically. Make sure the

back door is fully open and secure.

●

In the event that the back door is left slightly

open, the back door closer will automati-

cally close it to the fully closed position. It

takes several seconds before the back

door closer begins to operate. Be careful

not to catch fingers or anything else in the

back door, as this may cause bone frac-

tures or other serious injuries.
