If, during power opening or closing, the trunk is blocked by an object or part of someone’s body, the power trunk will detect the resistance and it will stop movement or move to the full open position to allow the object to be cleared.
However, if an object is thin or soft, or the trunk is near the latched position, the automatic stop and reversal may not detect the resistance and the closing operation will continue. If the power trunk is forced by a strong impact, the automatic stop and reversal may operate.
If the automatic stop and reverse feature operates more than twice during one opening or closing operation, the power trunk may stop at that position. If this occurs, close the trunk manually and operate the trunk automatically again.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury and damage take the following precautions when operating the power trunk: Keep all faces, hands, arms, body parts and other objects away from the path of the power trunk. Do not intentionally place any body parts or objects in the path of the power trunk to make sure the automatic stop and reversal operates. Do not allow children to play with the power trunk.
