NOTICE

In some circumstances resetting the power liftgate operation may need to be performed. Some instances where resetting the power liftgate 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
Wait until the liftgate fully opens to complete resetting. If the liftgate stops before it is fully open, resetting cannot be completed.
If the power liftgate does not operate properly after the above procedure, we recommend the system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
