What is the electric tailgate?

An electric tailgate, also known as a power liftgate or automatic tailgate, is a feature commonly found in modern vehicles that allows the rear door or hatch to be opened and closed automatically with the push of a button or through a sensor-based activation system. It is typically powered by an electric motor and controlled by the vehicle's electrical system.

The electric tailgate offers convenience to vehicle owners by eliminating the need to manually open or close the rear door or hatch. This feature is particularly useful when carrying heavy items or when accessing the cargo area in situations where hands may be occupied, such as when holding groceries or luggage.

In addition to the convenience factor, electric tailgates often include safety features to prevent injury or damage. For example, they may have sensors that can detect obstacles, such as a person or object in the path of the closing tailgate, and automatically reverse the operation to avoid accidents.

Overall, the electric tailgate is a modern automotive feature designed to enhance convenience, ease of use, and safety when accessing the rear cargo area of a vehicle.

How can we open the electric tailgate?

There are several ways to open an electric tailgate, depending on the specific vehicle and its features. Here are some common methods:

-Key Fob: Many vehicles with electric tailgates include a dedicated button on the key fob. Pressing the corresponding button on the key fob will activate the tailgate, causing it to open or close automatically.

-Front Button: Inside the vehicle, there is typically an interior control panel, often located on the driver's side door or center console. This panel will have a dedicated button or switch specifically for opening and closing the tailgate. Pressing the button or activating the switch will trigger the automatic operation of the tailgate.

-Rear Button: Some vehicles have an exterior button or touchpad located near the tailgate itself. Pressing this button will initiate the opening or closing of the tailgate. This is useful when approaching the vehicle from the rear and you want to open the tailgate without entering the vehicle.

-Foot Gesture/Sensor: Certain electric tailgates offer hands-free operation using sensor-based systems. These systems detect foot gestures or movements under the rear bumper or designated area. By waving your foot or performing a specific motion, you can trigger the tailgate to open or close without physically touching anything.
