Knowing Your Mazda Doors and Locks NOTE If the power liftgate switch/power liftgate close switch/power liftgate button on the transmitter is pressed or the outside handle is operated while the liftgate is opening/closing electrically, the beep sound is heard and the liftgate moves in the reverse direction automatically. If this operation is repeated the system switches to manual operation. CAUTION Sensors are installed on both ends of the power liftgate. Be careful not to allow the sensors to be scratched or damaged by sharp objects, otherwise the liftgate may no longer open/close automatically. In addition, if the sensor is damaged while the liftgate is closing automatically, the system changes to manual operation. Sensor Jam-safe equipment While the power liftgate is opening/ closing electrically and the system detects a person or an object in the liftgate's path, the liftgate will move in the reverse direction automatically. WARNING Always check the area around the power liftgate before opening/closing it: Not checking for occupants and objects around the power liftgate before opening/closing it is dangerous. The jam-safe equipment is designed to prevent jamming in the event an obstruction is in the liftgate's path. The system may not detect certain objects obstructing the liftgate depending on the way they are positioned and their shape. However, if the jam-safe function detects an obstruction and moves the liftgate in the reverse direction, an occupant in the liftgate's path could be seriously injured. NOTE l l The liftgate has sensors on both sides. Be careful not to damage them. If the sensors are damaged, the power liftgate will not function properly. The jam-safe equipment does not activate during easy closure operation when the power liftgate is between the door-ajar position and fully closed position. When the power liftgate is moving in the open/close direction and an obstruction is detected, the beep sound will be heard and the liftgate moves in the opposite direction. 3-33
