Can the Power Tailgate Be Closed Manually?

[EliAnn]

Models equipped with power tailgates cannot be closed directly by hand. Here is the relevant information: 1. Principle of Power Tailgate Composition: The basic structure of a power tailgate consists of two core-driven rods. The drive rod, via a spindle drive, is composed of an inner tube and an outer tube. The motor and gear inside the inner tube 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. 2. Avoid Manual Closing: Models with power tailgates should not be closed directly 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 opening and closing.
