What is the method for resetting the electric tailgate?

[StBrayden]

The method for resetting the electric tailgate is: 1. Adjust the electric tailgate to the desired position; 2. Press and hold the reset button. The method to open the trunk lid is: 1. Press the button on the key to open the trunk; 2. Press the button on the trunk manually and lift the trunk to open it. The maintenance methods for the trunk are: 1. Use a brush to clean dirt when washing, including the edges and grooves of the trunk, and perform odor treatment after cleaning; 2. Use separate bags for organized placement of items; 3. Lay a trunk mat to prevent dirt or liquids from entering the trunk and eroding the surface, while also preventing items inside the trunk from sliding, reducing the possibility of contamination or damage.

I've reset the electric tailgate several times myself. The common method is to first fully open the tailgate, manually push it to your desired height position, then press and hold the close button inside the tailgate for about 10 seconds until you hear a beep sound indicating success. This method works for most car models, like my Volkswagen which operates this way. Note that this should be done with the vehicle powered on, and it's best to step on the brake to avoid engine stalling. Some models like BMW require using the central control screen to adjust the tailgate height option in the vehicle settings menu. If the tailgate still doesn't respond after resetting, it might be due to motor failure or a stuck limiter. In such cases, you should visit a 4S shop for computer diagnostics, as disassembling it randomly might damage the wiring.

Last time I helped my neighbor adjust his power tailgate because he was afraid it would hit the garage beam. I taught him: First, start the car but don't shift gears, then press and hold the tailgate button on the key fob for 5 seconds until the hazard lights flash. Next, manually push the tailgate to the desired height, then press and hold the physical button inside the tailgate for 7 seconds until you hear two beeps to lock the position. Before operating, clear leaves and debris from the tracks to prevent jamming. Button locations vary by model—for example, Japanese cars often have the button near the license plate light. After setting, test the open/close function twice with the remote key to confirm the anti-pinch feature works. If you can't figure it out, check the manual—it has brand-specific procedures.

Resetting the electric tailgate height is actually quite simple, and I always do it myself. Here are the four steps: Turn on the ignition but don't open the tailgate, locate the small rubber button inside the trunk; press and hold the button for 10 seconds until the light flashes three times; manually push the tailgate to the desired position; then press the close button once to memorize the setting. Make sure the garage height is sufficient during operation to avoid hitting overhead obstacles. Modern models can even memorize two different heights, such as one for loading large items and another for daily use—just repeat the process. Some newer models come with a kick sensor; after resetting, you'll need to sweep your foot under the center of the rear bumper to calibrate the sensor.
