N00576200026
If the auto reverse sensors (A) on either side
of the power liftgate detect that something is
being trapped by the closing power liftgate,
the warning buzzer will sound once and the
liftgate will automatically reverse direction
and return to the full open position.
After the power liftgate has opened automati-
cally, if it is detected that the power liftgate is
dropping due to factors such as accumulated
snow, the power liftgate will close automati-
cally.
A warning buzzer will sound continuously
while the drop prevention mechanism is oper-
ating.
If the engine is started while the power lift-
gate is operating, the power liftgate may
intermittently move or stop moving to pre-
vent the power liftgate from moving abruptly.
Approximately 10 seconds after the power
liftgate has fully closed or opened, power lift-
gate operation will again resume.
NOTE
 If the close switch is again pressed once
while the power liftgate is operating in the
opening direction, the warning buzzer will
sound once and the power liftgate will close.
Auto reverse
WARNING
 The auto reverse mechanism will not oper-
ate just before the power liftgate becomes
fully closed. Therefore, be careful not to
trap a hand, part of your body or an
object at this time.
 When the power liftgate is closed manu-
ally, the auto reverse mechanism will not
operate.
 If the auto reverse mechanism has been
repeatedly activated, the power liftgate
may stop and then, depending on its posi-
tion, may abruptly open or close. Once the
power liftgate is completely closed or
open, automatic operation will be
resumed.
CAUTION
 Do not damage the auto reverse sensor, when
loading or unloading luggage. If the sensor is
damaged, the power liftgate will not close
automatically.
Drop prevention mechanism
NOTE
 If snow has accumulated on the power lift-
gate, remove it before operating the power
liftgate.
 Do not install any accessory other than Mit-
subishi Motors Genuine parts on the power
liftgate. The drop prevention mechanism
may be activated due to the weight of the
accessory.
 The drop prevention mechanism could be
activated if you attempt to close the liftgate
manually immediately after the power lift-
gate has been completely opened automati-
cally.
