Tailgate*

E00301402751

WARNING

It is dangerous to drive with the tailgate
open, since carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can enter the cabin.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death.

When opening and closing the tailgate,
make sure that there are no people nearby
and be careful not to hit your head or
pinch your hands, neck, etc.

When there is a build up of snow or ice, it
should  be  removed  before  opening  the
tailgate.  If  you  open  the  tailgate  without
removing it, there is a possibility that the
tailgate  may  close  suddenly  due  to  the
weight of that snow or ice.

WARNING

When  you  open  the  tailgate  make  sure
that  the  tailgate  is  opened  fully  and  re-
mains fully open. If you only open the tail-
gate  halfway  there  is  a  risk  that  the  tail-
gate may drop and slam shut. If you open
the  tailgate  whilst  your  vehicle  is  parked
on  an  incline  it  is  more  difficult  to  do  so
than on the flat and also it may drop and
slam shut.

CAUTION

To avoid damage to the tailgate, make sure
the area above and behind the tailgate is
clear before opening it.

To lock/unlock

The tailgate can be locked or unlocked by us-
ing the central door lock switch (driver side).

Locking and unlocking

CAUTION

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.

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.

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

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.

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

If snow has accumulated on the electric tail-
gate, remove it before operation.

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.

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  Plug-in  Hybrid  EV  System  is  started
while  the  electric  tailgate  is  operating  auto-
matically, it may switch to manual operation
due  to  insufficient  auxiliary  battery  voltage,
making the electric tailgate stop intermittent-
ly while it moves. This is to stop the electric
tailgate  from  operating  suddenly.  When  the
tailgate is completely closed or opened, auto-
matic  operation  is  again  possible  after  ap-
proximately 10 seconds.

CAUTION

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.
