All products undergo original car testing to ensure compatibility and performance.
Detailed installation instructions, including wiring diagrams and mounting procedures, are typically provided with the product package. If you have any questions during the installation process, please refer to the support section for contact information.
Operating Instructions
Control Methods
Image: Depicts four control methods: original car key remote, driver's seat button, trunk button, and optional kick sensing.
- Original Car Key Control: Use the designated button on your vehicle's original car key remote to open or close the tailgate. Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific key functions.
- Driver's Seat Button Control: A dedicated button, typically installed near the driver's seat, allows for convenient opening and closing of the tailgate from inside the vehicle.
- Trunk Button Control: A button located on the tailgate itself provides direct control for opening and closing when you are at the rear of the vehicle.
- Kick Sensing Control (Optional): For models equipped with the kick sensor, a simple foot-lifting action directly below the car's rear bumper will activate the tailgate. Ensure there are no obstacles in the tailgate's path before activation.

Safety Features
- Anti-Pinch: If the tailgate encounters an obstacle during closing, it will automatically reverse its direction to prevent injury or damage.
- Audible Warning: An alarm will sound when the tailgate is in motion (opening or closing) to alert nearby individuals.

Maintenance
The TINIANHHCT Power Liftgate Retrofit system is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. Regular checks are recommended to ensure optimal performance:
- Periodically inspect the support poles for any signs of wear or damage.
- Ensure that the tailgate area is clear of debris that could interfere with the closing mechanism or sensors.
- Keep the kick sensor area clean for reliable operation.
- Avoid applying excessive force to the tailgate when it is in automatic operation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your power liftgate system, consider the following:
- Tailgate not responding: Check if the vehicle's battery is adequately charged. Ensure all connections are secure (if accessible and safe to check).
- Tailgate not closing fully or reversing unexpectedly: Inspect the tailgate path for any obstructions. The anti-pinch feature will activate if an object is detected.
- Abnormal warning sounds: The system is equipped with an abnormal warning feature. If unusual sounds or warnings occur, cease operation and consult the manufacturer.
- Kick sensor not working: Ensure the sensor area under the bumper is clean and free from dirt or ice. Confirm the foot motion is a clear "kick" action directly under the sensor.
For persistent issues or complex problems, it is recommended to contact professional automotive service or the manufacturer's support team.
