Can the Power Tailgate Be Closed Manually?
1 Answers
Models equipped with power tailgates should not be closed manually by hand. Here is the relevant information: Principle of Power Tailgate Composition: The basic structure of a power tailgate consists of two spindle-driven rods. Each drive rod, powered by a spindle drive, is composed of an inner tube and an outer tube. Inside the inner tube, a motor and gears drive a threaded spindle, which moves along a threaded nut fixed to the inner side of the outer tube. The electric strut uses an electric spindle located inside the motor within the strut to open and close the trunk lid, with springs assisting in the opening operation. Do Not Close Manually: Models with power tailgates should not be closed manually by hand, as this can cause excessive wear on the internal motor, gears, and telescopic components, thereby reducing their lifespan. It is best to use the switch for both closing and opening operations.
