Hyundai Santa Fe: Exterior features / Power Liftgate
Power liftgate operating conditions
The power liftgate operates when the gear is in P (Park) with the engine running.
However, the power liftgate will operate regardless of the gear position when the
engine is off. Also, the liftgate can be opened only when vehicle speed is below
1.8 mph (3 km/h).
For safety, before attempting to open or close the liftgate, make sure the vehicle
is in P (Park).
WARNING
- Never leave children or animals unattended in your vehicle. Children
may operate the power liftgate. Doing so can result in injury to themselves
or others and can damage the vehicle.
Make sure that there are no people or objects in the path of the power liftgate
or smart liftgate prior to use. Serious injury, damage to the vehicle or damage
to surrounding objects (for example, walls, ceilings, vehicles, etc.) may result
if contact with the liftgate occurs.
NOTICE
- Do not close or open the liftgate manually. This may cause damage
to the power liftgate. If it is necessary to close or open the liftgate manually
when the battery is discharged or disconnected, do not apply excessive force.
- Do not operate the power liftgate more than 10 times continuously
when the engine is not running. Use the power liftgate with the engine running
when the power liftgate is used repeatedly to prevent battery discharge.
- Do not leave the power liftgate open for a long period of time.
This may drain the battery.
- Do not apply excessive force when the power liftgate is operating.
Doing so could result in vehicle damage.
Do not grab or hold on to the liftgate support struts at any time. Damage
to the liftgate support struts could result. Deformation of the liftgate support
struts may cause vehicle damage and personal injury may occur.
- Do not modify or repair any part of the power liftgate by yourself.
This must be done by an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- Do not operate the power liftgate under the following conditions.
The power liftgate may not operate properly.
- One side of the vehicle is lifted to inspect the vehicle or change a tire
- Parking on an uneven road such as a slope, etc.
- Close the liftgate completely and lock all doors and liftgate using
the central door lock button before using an automatic car wash.
- Do not spray high pressure water directly on the power liftgate
outside open/close button. The liftgate may open unintentionally.
Information
- If the liftgate is not fully closed and vehicle speed is at or above
3 km/h (1.8 mph), a warning will sound 10 times. Immediately park the vehicle
at a safe place, close the liftgate, and check that the liftgate open warning
on the instrument cluster is turned off.
- In cold and wet climates, the outside power liftgate open/close
button may not work properly due to freezing conditions. If this occurs, remove
the ice before using the outside power liftgate open/close button or use the
power liftgate open/close button on the smart key or the instrument panel.
- Operating the power liftgate more than 5 times continuously could
cause damage to the operating motor. If this occurs, the power liftgate will
not operate to prevent the motor from overheating. If any of the power liftgate
buttons are pressed to try to open the liftgate, the chime will sound 3 times,
but the liftgate will remain closed. Allow the power liftgate system to cool
for about 1 minute before operating the system again.
