How to Adjust the Opening Speed of an Electric Tailgate Faster?
2 Answers
Electric tailgate opening speed can be adjusted faster by long-pressing the tailgate switch, with different speeds available for selection. Simply long-press the tailgate switch, and a beeping sound will be heard. The speed of the beeping corresponds to the tailgate's speed mode. After selecting the desired speed, release the tailgate switch to complete the setting. Then, a short press will close the tailgate. Here is some additional information: An electric tailgate, also known as an electric trunk, refers to a trunk that can be opened or closed electrically or via remote control. To open the trunk, simply press the button inside the car or on the remote key, and the trunk will automatically open. To close the trunk, press the close button inside the trunk or inside the car, or use the remote key, and the trunk will automatically close.
If my power tailgate opens too slowly, I would first check the vehicle settings menu to see if there's a speed adjustment option. Many new cars have this feature in the infotainment system—just navigate to 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Tailgate Control' and look for manual speed adjustment. If unavailable, cleaning the door tracks and hinges is crucial—dirt buildup can cause sluggishness. Wiping with a damp cloth and applying lubricant can improve smoothness, indirectly increasing speed. A software update is another solution, as some models may unlock customizable settings through official updates. However, I remind myself that excessive speed increases the risk of the tailgate hitting obstacles, which is dangerous. Factory default settings prioritize vehicle and passenger safety. So before making changes, I always weigh the risks and consult a professional technician when necessary for reliable advice.
