Fall-down Detection Function: Notes

This function prevents the tailgate from suddenly falling down because of an accumulation of snow, or other causes. If the pulser in the drive unit detects abnormal pulses, the tailgate starts to open. If this operation is activated twice, the tailgate will close automatically. If the obstruction detection function detects any obstruction several times during this fall-down detection function, the tailgate stops moving.

NOTE: If the tailgate falls repeatedly, replace the tailgate support strut (see TAILGATE SUPPORT STRUT REPLACEMENT ).

A: Auto open action completed

B: Tailgate falling is detected

C: Clutch reconnect when falling is detected

D: Auto open action (power tailgate motor reverse action)

E: Close function activated from fully open position
