Resetting the power tailgate

In some circumstances resetting the power tailgate operation may need to beperformed. Some instances where resetting the power tailgate may be required include:

  • When the 12-volt battery is recharged

  • When the 12-volt battery is reinstalled after removal or replacement

  • When the related fuse is reinstalled after removal or replacement

  1. With the engine off or running, put the gear in P (Park).

  2. Press the power tailgate open/close inner button (1) and outer switch (2) simultaneously until a chime sounds.

  3. Slowly close the tailgate manually.

  4. Press the power tailgate open/close outer switch. The power tailgate will open with a chime sound.

    Wait until the tailgate fully opens to complete resetting. If the tailgate stops before it is fully open, resetting cannot be completed.

NOTICE

If the power tailgate does not operate properly after the above procedure, have the system inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
