CAUTION
l
The safety mechanism is cancelled just be-
fore the electric tailgate is fully closed to al-
low it to close completely. Therefore be es-
pecially careful not to trap a hand or finger
at this time.
l
The safety mechanism is deactivated when
the electric tailgate is closed manually.
Therefore be especially careful not to trap a
hand or finger at this time.
l
If the safety mechanism is repeatedly operat-
ed, the tailgate could be switched to manual
operation. Be careful at this time, as the
electric tailgate could open or close sudden-
ly, depending on its position.
Once the electric tailgate is completely open
or closed, normal automatic operation is
again possible.
NOTE
l
If the environment or usage conditions sub-
ject the sensors to the same kind of force as
that of trapping a person or object, the safety
mechanism could be activated.
l
Do not damage the sensors when loading or
unloading luggage, or when cleaning the
rear window. Doing so could prevent the
tailgate from closing automatically.
Drop prevention mechanism
After the electric tailgate is opened automati-
cally, if it is detected that the tailgate is drop-
ping due to factors such as accumulated
snow, the electric tailgate is closed automati-
cally.
A warning buzzer sounds continuously while
the drop prevention mechanism operates.
NOTE
l
If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-
gate, remove it before operation.
l
Do not install accessories other than
MITSUBISHI MOTORS GENUINE parts
on the electric tailgate. Some accessories
could be too heavy, causing the drop preven-
tion mechanism to operate.
l
The drop prevention mechanism could be
activated if manual operation is attempted
immediately after the electric tailgate is
completely opened automatically.
Sudden operation prevention
mechanism
If the engine is started while the electric tail-
gate is operating automatically, it may switch
to manual operation due to insufficient bat-
tery voltage, making the electric tailgate stop
intermittently while it moves. This is to stop
the electric tailgate from operating suddenly.
When the tailgate is completely closed or
opened, automatic operation is again possible
after approximately 10 seconds.
CAUTION
l
The safety mechanism is deactivated while
the sudden operation prevention mechanism
is operating. Therefore be especially careful
not to trap a hand or finger at this time.
