Keys and doors/Rear gate
! Rear gate drop prevention function
If, while fully opened via the power rear
gate function, the rear gate is lowered by
the weight of snow and such, an electronic
chirp will sound and the rear gate will
close automatically.
CAUTION
. If the reverse function is operated
3 times consecutively, automatic
opening and closing of the power
rear gate function will be can-
celed and the rear gate can be
opened and closed normally.
Whether the rear gate opens or
closes depends on the rear gate
height when automatic operation
is ceased. Be careful that the rear
gate does not hit anyone’s head
or face, etc. and that fingers and
baggage, etc. are not caught in it.
. Take care not to damage the
touch sensors. Otherwise, the
reverse function may cease to
operate.
If, while opening or closing using power
rear gate, the rear gate catches persons
or baggage or hits an obstacle, an
electronic chirp will sound 3 times and
the rear gate will operate as follows.

gate will automatically close.

Touch sensor
Touch sensors are attached on the left
and right edges of the rear gate. If the
touch sensors detect fingers, baggage,
etc. while closing by the power rear gate
function, an electronic chirp will sounds 3
times and the rear gate will open auto-
matically.
NOTE
When the rear gate is opened using the
reverse function, it will be opened fully
or to the height registered in the
memory function.
. If there is snow on the rear gate,
only use the power rear gate function
after removing the snow.
. If you close the rear gate manually
just after the rear gate is fully opened
using the power rear gate function, the
rear gate drop prevention function will
operate to close the rear gate automa-
tically. In this case, this is not a
malfunction.
