POWER BACK DOOR SYSTEM


  1. OUTLINE


    1. The power back door system enables the back door to be opened and closed automatically by a motor in accordance with signals from the power back door control switch, the back door opener switch assembly or power back door button on an electrical key transmitter sub-assembly. In addition, a power back door switch has been provided on the back door for convenience.

    2. The touchless power back door function has been adopted on some models. The back door on models with the touchless power back door function can be opened by holding a hand over the rear emblem sensor assembly.

    3. The reserve lock function enables the back door to be closed and automatically locked by pressing the door control switch on the back door assembly twice. (Except models for Europe)

    4. A spindle type power back door is used to achieve improved rearward visibility. Also, the user can set the opening angle of the back door in the preferences. For example, if the garage has a low ceiling, the opening angle of the back door can be set not to hit the ceiling.

    5. This system is controlled by the power back door ECU (multiplex network door ECU).
