PRECAUTION / INSTALLATION NOTES: • After Safety mandated preparatory steps have been taken, the installation sequence is the suggested method for completing the accessory installation. • When prying panels, use masking tape on all surfaces that a tool may come in contact with to prevent marring. • After a wire tie is fully fastened, cleanly cut excess wire tie length with a pair of wire cutters. • The wiring information is on an “as is” basis without any representation or warranty. It is the installer’s responsibility to verify any circuit before interfacing with it using a digital multi-meter. • Manufacturer’s service documents can be used for any vehicle disassembly that may be depicted differently from what the instruction states. • To ensure safety and normal usage of the liftgate, please let a professional complete the install. Do not dismantle the liftgate product, may cause damage to vehicle. • Start engine before installation; check dashboard display function, check button operation, and check for scratches or damage to exterior and interior. Report any issues immediately. • Check whether the Tailgate can normally open and close. Check that interior lights are working with tailgate operation. • Do not change any wires with engine ON.

(Figure A1a-b) 2. Familiarize yourself with the installation instructions. Inspect kit components to verify everything is present, there is no damage, and to Figure A1b familiarize yourself with the parts. 3. Use Seat and Floor protectors to avoid damage to vehicle surfaces. Disconnecting the battery prior to any ground or harness removal/ tapping to prevent possible vehicle damage is recommended. The battery may be temporarily reconnected and disconnected throughout the installation process to perform various tasks. However, prior to doing so all connectors and harnesses must be reassembled and reconnected. Once tasks are completed disconnect battery until installation is complete and Electric Tailgate system is ready to be tested. After testing, the vehicles interior may be re-assembled. Disconnecting the battery may cause certain vehicle settings to be lost. Manufacturer’s recommendations for the battery removal should be followed. Figure B1a B. Disassemble Vehicle Trim 1.
