Features of your vehicle

• For emergency stop while power

liftgate operating, press the power

liftgate open/close button shortly.

✽

NOTICE

The chime will sound continuously if

you drive over 2mph (3km/h) with the

liftgate opened. Stop your vehicle at a

safe place as soon as possible to check

if your liftgate is opened.

•

The power liftgate can be operated

when the engine is not running.

However the power liftgate opera-

tion consumes large amounts of

vehicle electric power. To prevent

the battery from being discharged,

do not operate it excessively.

To prevent the battery from being

discharged, do not leave the power

liftgate in the open position for a

long time.

Do not modify or repair any part

of the power liftgate by yourself.

This must be done by an author-

ized Kia dealer.

When jacking up the vehicle to

change a tire or repair the vehicle,

do not operate the power liftgate.

This could cause the power liftgate

to operate improperly.

WARNING

Make sure there are no people

or objects around the liftgate

before opening or closing the

power liftgate. Wait until the lift-

gate is open fully and stopped

before loading or unloading

cargo from the vehicle.

CAUTION

•

Do not operate the power lift-

gate more than 5 times continu-

ously.

It may damage the power liftgate

system. If you operate the power

liftgate more than 5 times con-

tinuously, the chime will sound 3

times and the power liftgate will

not operate. At this time, stop

operating the liftgate and leave it

for more than 1 minute.

Power liftgate non-opening condi-

tions

The power liftgate will not open auto-

matically, when the vehicle is moving

more than 2mph (3km/h) or the auto-

matic shift lever is not in P(Park) posi-

tion. The power liftgate will not open

automatically, when the automatic

shift lever is not in P(Park) position or

the manual shift lever is not in

N(Neutral) position.

Automatic reversal

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 resist-

ance.

•

In cold and wet climates, the

power liftgate may not work prop-

erly due to freezing conditions.

It is recommended to wait until

the power liftgate is fully closed

before starting the vehicle. The

power liftgate may not close fully

if the vehicle is started during

automatic closing.

•

If the automatic reversal feature

operates continuously more than

twice during opening or closing oper-

ation, the power liftgate may stop at

that position. At this time, close the

liftgate manually and operate the lift-

gate automatically again.

CAUTION

Never operate the power lift

gate with any heavy objects

attached (e.g. bicycles) as it

could become damaged.

OUMA044013

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.

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 person-

al injury.

• 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.
