Resetting the power tailgate
In some circumstances resetting the power tailgate operation may need to be performed. 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
-
With the vehicle in OFF or ON position, shift to P (Park, Automatic transmission) or N (Neutral, Manual transmission).
-
Press the power tailgate open/close inner button (1) and outer button (2) simultaneously until a chime sounds.
-
Slowly close the tailgate manually.
-
Press the power tailgate open/close outer button. 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.
If the power tailgate does not operate properly after the above procedure, have the system inspected by an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
