How to Adjust the Height of an Electric Tailgate?
2 Answers
Enter the vehicle's cabin, press and hold the start button for 7 seconds without stepping on the brake to turn on the ignition. The dashboard lighting up indicates success. Manually open the electric tailgate to the desired position, ensuring the highest point of the vehicle is approximately 185cm from the ground with the hood closed and in an unloaded state. Press and hold the close button inside the tailgate for 5 seconds until you hear a beep, indicating successful setting. Close the electric tailgate and reopen it; the tailgate will automatically open to check if it reaches the set position.
I remember when opening the electric tailgate before, the height always hit the garage ceiling light, so I looked into the standard procedure. First, locate the tailgate switch inside the car or the key button, then manually push the tailgate to your desired height—not too high to avoid damaging the garage ceiling, nor too low to interfere with loading and unloading luggage. Then, hold the button down, and usually, a 'beep' sound indicates the setting is successful. Now, every time the tailgate opens, it stops at that fixed height, which is super convenient. Most models support this feature, such as SUVs or station wagons, and you can even adjust two to three memory positions via the vehicle menu. I recommend checking the settings periodically—if the battery dies, you'll have to reset it. In short, find a safe and level spot to operate before getting started to avoid repeatedly adjusting and affecting the tailgate motor's lifespan.
