Description And Operation: Description: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Kia Sorento. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Smart Tailgate system is an electro-mechanical system that can open and close the tailgate automatically, by using local switch (push button switch inside of the tailgate, and outside handle switch), and wireless remote key (FOB), or can halt the tailgate. The Smart Tailgate module (STGM) sends and receives the vehicle's information via BCM, instrument panel, SJB and CAN communication, so that it can decide the opening/closing of the tailgate and self diagnosis.

There's a safety function to reverse its direction, when an obstacle is detected during the operation. Also, by changing a user setting mode from Power mode to Manual mode through a cluster, a user can stop the Power tailgate function and open the tailgate manually.
