HONDA 2012 Pilot - Manual (Page 154)

When the tailgate or the roof is
covered with snow or ice.
Do not install any accessories on the
tailgate. It may cause the tailgate to
malfunction. If there is snow or ice
on the tailgate, make sure to remove
it before you operate the tailgate.
If you push the tailgate release
button inside the handle while the
tailgate is opening or closing, it will
stop moving. You need to open or
close it the rest of the way manually.
The tailgate has sensors on both
sides. Be careful not to damage them.
If the sensors are damaged, the
power tailgate does not function
properly.
ANYTIME The tailgate unlocks
and opens when you press and hold
the tailgate button on the remote
transmitter for 1 second. The
tailgate will automatically relock
when you close it when the doors are
locked.
There are two settings you can
choose from:
When you customize the setting,
make sure your vehicle is parked
safely, the parking brake is applied,
all doors and the tailgate are fully
closed and locked, and the key is
removed from the ignition switch.
You can customize the power
tailgate setting not to open without
unlocking the tailgate lock first by
remote transmitter from the outside.
If you try to drive off with the
tailgate open, a beeper sounds and a
‘‘TAILGATE OPEN’’ message is
shown on the multi-information
display.
With this message shown on the
multi-information display, or the
power tailgate indicator comes on,
you can still open or close the
tailgate manually.
If there is a problem in the power
tailgate system, you will see a
‘‘CHECK POWER TAILGATE’’
message on the multi-information
display, or the power tailgate
indicator comes on. Have the system
checked by your dealer.
Keep the tailgate closed at all times
while driving to avoid damaging the
tailgate and to prevent exhaust gas
from getting into the interior. See
