Complaint:
The automatic liftgate reverses direction at the lower end position when being closed.
Cause:
During the closing sequence the liftgate collides with the obstruction sensor strip, which triggers the anti-pinch protection function.
Remedy:
Adjust the liftgate by adjusting the striker.
The gap between the liftgate and the side wall should measure approx. 6.5 mm (see Figure 1).
Note:
It must be ensured that when the liftgate is closed there is a gap between the liftgate and the obstruction sensor strip along its entire length. This can
be verified if it is possible to slide a piece of paper along the gap with no resistance.
