Kia Sportage: Closing the liftgate / Automatic reversal
.png)
During power opening and closing if the power liftgate is blocked by an object
or part of the body, the power liftgate will detect the resistance.
- If the resistance is detected while opening the liftgate, it will stop
and move in the opposite direction.
- If the resistance is detected while closing the liftgate, it will stop
and move in the opposite direction.
However, if the resistance is weak such as from an object that is thin or soft,
or the liftgate is near the latched position, the automatic stop and reversal may
not detect the resistance.
If the automatic reversal feature operates continuously more than twice during
opening or closing operation, the power liftgate may stop at that position. At this
time, close the liftgate manually and operate the liftgate automatically again.
WARNING
Never place any object or part of your body in the path of the power liftgate
as it is operating. Doing so could result in personal injury or damage to the vehicle.
Never operate power liftgate attached with any heavy objects (ex. Bicycles). It
could damage the power liftgate.
The power liftgate will not open automatically, when the vehicle is moving more
than 2mph(3km/h) or the automatic shift lever is not in P(Park) position.
