The remote control allows for convenient operation of the tailgate from a distance.

The optional kick sensor provides hands-free operation of the tailgate.

Height Adjustment:

To set your desired tailgate opening height:

1. Open the tailgate to your preferred height.
2. Press and hold the tailgate button until you hear a 'beep' sound, indicating the height has been saved.
3. The tailgate will now open to this saved height each time.

Anti-Pinch Protection:

The system is equipped with an anti-pinch safety feature. If an obstruction is detected during closing, the tailgate will automatically reverse its movement to prevent injury or damage.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your power liftgate kit, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Keep the lift supports and sensor areas clean from dirt, dust, and debris.
• Inspect Connections: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts of the lift supports if any squeaking or stiffness occurs.
• Avoid Forceful Manual Operation: Do not manually force the tailgate open or closed when the power system is active, as this can damage the motors.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your power liftgate, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Tailgate Not Responding:
  • Check if the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged.
  • Ensure all wiring connections are secure.
  • Verify that the control buttons are not obstructed or damaged.
• Tailgate Stops Mid-Movement:
  • An obstruction may have triggered the anti-pinch sensor. Clear any obstacles in the tailgate's path.
  • Check for any debris or foreign objects in the lift support mechanisms.
• Unusual Noises During Operation:
  • Inspect lift supports for damage or misalignment.
  • Apply lubricant to moving parts if squeaking is present.
• Height Setting Not Saved:
  • Ensure you held the tailgate button long enough for the 'beep' confirmation.
  • Repeat the height adjustment procedure carefully.

If problems persist, it is recommended to consult a professional technician or contact EVFRONTIERX customer support.
