door may result in an injury.

Although the back door stops closing when the jam protection function detects an object, take extra care as you may still be injured if part of your body is already
caught.

function will cause the back door to automatically operate in the opposite direction.

However, be careful not to jam body parts in the doorframe, as an injury may result.

Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection function.

The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the back door fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.

The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object that is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.

The sensors located on the right and left sides of the power back door detect obstructions and prevent them from becoming jammed in the door. Some objects may not be detected depending on their shape or how they are jammed. Be careful not to get fingers or other body parts caught in the back door while it is operating
as this may result in a serious injury.

back door closer may stop operating. In this case, manually open the back door once and wait for a while before attempting to close it again.

To prevent damage to the power back door Make sure that there is no ice between the back door and frame that would prevent
movement of the back door. Operating the power back door when excessive load is present on the back door may cause a malfunction.

Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the power back door is operating.

Take care not to damage the sensors (installed on the right and left edges of the
power back door) with a knife or other sharp object. If the sensor is disconnected,
the power back door will not operate in automatic operation.

When manually closing the back door immediately after the power back door has been automatically opened fully, some resistance may be felt.
