Honda CR-V: Precautions for Opening/Closing the Tailgate / Auto-Closer
If you manually close the power tailgate, it latches automatically.
The auto-closer feature does not activate if you press
the tailgate outer handle while the power tailgate is
closing.
Do not put any force on the tailgate while the power
tailgate is latching.
Keep your hands away from the tailgate when you
manually close the tailgate and let it latch
automatically. It is dangerous to put your hands
around the tailgate as it starts to latch itself.
The extent to which the power tailgate automatically opens can be programed.
To program:
Open the tailgate to the desired position.
If you want to reprogram the power tailgate to open all the way,
manually raise the tailgate to its upper most position and follow the
next step...
Automatically lowers the power tailgate when there is a possibility that the
fully
opened power tailgate can fall down by its own weight (for example, by snow on
the tailgate)...
