How to Adjust the Opening Speed of an Electric Tailgate Faster?

[McValerie]

Electric tailgate opening speed can be adjusted by long-pressing the tailgate switch, with different speeds available for selection. More information about electric tailgates is as follows: 1. If a car is equipped with an electric tailgate, there is usually a closing button on the inner side of the tailgate. This button can not only be used to close the tailgate but also to adjust the opening and closing speed of the tailgate. 2. Adjusting the opening and closing speed of the electric tailgate is not difficult. Simply long-press the tailgate switch, and a beeping sound will be heard. The speed of the beeping sound corresponds to the tailgate speed mode. Release the tailgate switch after selecting the desired speed to complete the setting. 3. The electric tailgate is set with several different speed levels. Generally, car manufacturers preset the slowest speed for owners to avoid accidents caused by too fast opening or closing of the tailgate.

I've just researched this issue and tried adjusting the speed of my power tailgate. Actually, most modern vehicles have customization options. You can find the tailgate function tab in the vehicle settings menu on the central control screen. After clicking in, there's a speed adjustment slider with several levels from slow to fast—just drag it to the faster setting. But be careful not to pull it too abruptly; excessive speed might cause the tailgate to slam with too much force, especially if children or pets are nearby. After setting it to the fast mode, I did find it more convenient, reducing the opening/closing time from 5 seconds to 3 seconds, provided the battery is sufficiently charged and the system is functioning properly. If there's no menu option, check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer for a software update—don’t modify the hardware yourself to avoid voiding the warranty. Remember, safety comes first; testing it on rainy days or slopes is more stable.

I often carry stuff, and a slow tailgate is really inconvenient. I've noticed that some cars have a hidden button inside the tailgate—holding it for a few seconds can switch the speed mode without diving into complex settings. But this method isn't universal; you need to check the vehicle manual. High-end models might offer App control, while entry-level cars likely have fixed settings. I think it's best to prioritize a balance between convenience and safety—higher speeds could pose injury risks, so act within your means. If unsure, visit a 4S shop and let technicians adjust it with professional tools, as they understand the electronic module parameters. Also, maintaining a healthy battery helps—older cars with weak voltage may slow down the mechanism. Reducing trunk weight can also indirectly speed up the opening/closing process.

Having been in this industry for decades, increasing the speed of a power tailgate isn't easy to achieve. Many vehicles have their speed locked by default, requiring an OBD tool to connect to the port and modify code parameters via computer software. Ordinary users shouldn't attempt this casually, as it may blow a fuse or damage the motor. I've seen cases where self-modification caused the tailgate to open too fast and damage the bumper. The proper way is to visit a professional repair shop for diagnosis—they have testing equipment to make safe adjustments. Factors affecting speed include system voltage, sensor sensitivity, and ambient temperature; opening and closing may be slightly slower in cold weather. Maintaining factory settings is generally more reliable.

Faster tailgate operation may sound convenient, but carries potential risks. I tried increasing the speed in the settings menu, but excessive speed causes the door to spring open instantly, risking collisions with obstacles or people, especially in crowded areas. The speed is affected by vehicle voltage and load - with an aging battery or heavy items weighing down the tailgate, acceleration may actually cause stuttering. Recommend only making minor adjustments for urgent needs, maintaining default values for safety balance. Check wiring for cleanliness and corrosion prevention, ensure connectors are secure - these details can slightly improve responsiveness. When uncertain, consult your dealer for firmware updates.
