Jam protection

If the boot door meets resistance (such as a child or luggage), it reverses until fully open or closed.

Caution:Do not pull the electric strut sideways. Do not push the boot door higher than its highest position. When closing by hand, do it gently; force can damage the motor and module.

Caution:Make sure nothing is in the boot door's path that could scratch it. If closing is interrupted, close it again.

Caution:In a car wash or when using a pressure washer, keep the smart key out of the boot's detection area so it does not open unexpectedly.

Note:On a steep slope the boot may not open or close by itself. This is normal; open or close it by hand.

Caution:In very cold weather the strut may not hold the boot open; lift it by hand. If the boot is frozen or covered in snow, do not force it. Run the heater until the car warms up, and wait for the ice to melt.

Caution:If the boot door does not work correctly, have it checked by an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
