- Professional Installation Recommended: While designed for non-destructive installation, professional installation is highly recommended to ensure correct wiring and functionality.
- Avoid Forcing Operation: Do not manually force the tailgate open or closed against the electric mechanism, as this may cause damage.

5. Operation
5.1. Multiple Switch Control Modes
The tailgate can be opened and closed using various convenient methods:
- Original Car Key Control: Use your existing car key without modification or programming.
- Driver's Cabin Button Control: A dedicated button inside the cabin allows for easy operation.
- Rear Tailgate Button Control: A button located on the tailgate itself for direct access.
- Foot Sensor Sensing (Optional): For models with the foot sensor, a gentle kick under the rear bumper will open or close the tailgate.
- Main Door Button Control: Supported by some car models.
- Original Car Rear Buckle Switch Control: Utilizes the vehicle's existing rear buckle switch.
5.2. Intelligent Height Adjustment
You can set the tailgate to any desired opening height with just one click. This customizable feature allows you to adjust the height to suit your personal needs, making it convenient for users of different heights or when parking in areas with low clearance.
5.3. Smart Electromagnetic Auto-Lock
The 1:1 design of the electric suction lock automatically attracts and securely locks the tailgate when it is closed, providing a safer and more convenient experience.
6. Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the tailgate area and the electric struts clean from dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation.
- Check Connections: Periodically inspect all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Lubrication: The high-strength ball head components are designed with lubricating oil inside. No external lubrication is typically required.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the system components.
7. Troubleshooting
- Tailgate Not Opening/Closing: Check all connections. Ensure no obstacles are blocking the tailgate path. If an abnormal alarm sounds, clear any obstructions.
- Intermittent Operation: Verify power supply and control box connections. Ensure the remote key battery is not low.
- Unusual Noises: While the system is designed for quiet operation, any persistent unusual noises should be investigated. Contact support if necessary.
- Foot Sensor Not Responding: Ensure the foot sensor area is clean. Perform an effective scanning and kicking action (not just a casual touch).
