INTRODUCTION - TAILGATE/FLAP

WARNINGS

Follow these precautions when working on the tailgate assembly:

• When working on the hinges, take care not to damage the paintwork.
• Following an adjustment operation that required the hinges to be moved, the tailgate must be removed and the hinge area repainted.
• Work carefully on the fittings and use the recommended tools correctly to prevent damage.

PRECAUTIONS

Before working on the electrical system (connectors, electrical components, wiring etc.), always DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.

If the battery is disconnected the Steering Lock Node remains in the condition (unlocked or locked) that it is in: during workshop operations and repairs, whenever it is necessary to turn the steering wheel with the battery disconnected, leave the TEG inserted when the battery is disconnected. The steering will therefore remain released and free to turn.

PROCEDURE FOR INITIALIZING DOOR NODES

Following a power supply failure to the control units (for example, battery disconnected) the system must be initialized once again following the instructions below working with the TEG inserted and the doors and windows closed.

- completely open the driver''s door window keeping the operating button pressed for at least 3 seconds after the (lower) end of travel position

- completely close the driver''s door window keeping the operating button pressed for at least 3 seconds after the (upper) end of travel position

- carry out the same operations for the passenger window

- make sure that the initialization is correct by checking that the windows work properly in automatic mode.
