Electric tailgate*
4-22 Locking and unlocking
4
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.
If the engine is started while the electric tail-
gate is operating automatically, it may switch
to manual operation due to insufficient bat-
tery voltage, making the electric tailgate stop
intermittently while it moves. This is to stop
the electric tailgate from operating suddenly.
When the tailgate is completely closed or
opened, automatic operation is again possible
after approximately 10 seconds.

If the electric tailgate power switch is off, the
electric tailgate can be operated by manual
operation.
After unlocking the electric tailgate, push the
tailgate open switch (A) and pull up the tail-
gate.
 The safety mechanism is cancelled just
before the electric tailgate is fully closed to
allow it to close completely. Therefore be
especially 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 oper-
ated, the tailgate could be switched to man-
ual operation. Be careful at this time, as the
electric tailgate could open or close sud-
denly, 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.
CAUTION
Drop prevention mechanism
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

CAUTION
 The safety mechanism is deactivated while
