Cadillac ATS 2013-2019 Hnads-Free Access Powerlift Gate Electric Trunk Opener Open Electronically

Automatic Trunk Technical Description

Overview

An automatic trunk system enhances vehicle usability by providing electronic control over the trunk's opening and closing functions. This system typically integrates with the vehicle's electrical architecture, allowing for keyless entry and hands-free operation.

Components

1. Electric Motor:

Powers the opening and closing mechanism.
Typically located within the trunk lid assembly.

2. Control Module:

Acts as the brain of the system, interpreting input from various sensors and switches.
Communicates with the vehicle's onboard computer for seamless integration.

3. Sensors:

Obstacle Detection Sensors: Prevent the trunk from closing on objects or individuals by reversing or stopping operation.
Proximity Sensors: Enable hands-free opening when detecting a foot motion under the rear bumper.

4. Power Supply:

Draws power from the vehicle’s battery, usually via the main electrical system.
Equipped with fuses for safety and protection against electrical faults.

5. User Interface:

Key Fob: Button for remote opening/closing.
Dashboard Control: Switch or button for manual operation from inside the vehicle.
Trunk Lid Button: Located on the trunk itself for direct access.

Functionality

1. Opening Mechanism:

When activated, the control module engages the electric motor, which lifts the trunk lid using a series of linkages or struts.
In hands-free mode, a foot motion detected by the proximity sensor triggers the same motor function.

2. Closing Mechanism:

The trunk lid can be closed by pressing the corresponding button or automatically after a preset duration.
Sensors ensure that the trunk stops or reverses if an obstacle is detected during closing.

Safety Features

Obstacle Detection: Integrated sensors prevent accidents by stopping the trunk’s movement if they detect obstruction.
Manual Override: In case of system failure, the trunk can be opened and closed manually.

Applications

Commonly found in SUVs, minivans, and luxury vehicles, enhancing convenience and accessibility for users.

This technical description outlines the primary components and functionalities of an automatic trunk system, emphasizing its integration with vehicle operations and safety features.

What are the functions of the electric tailgate?

Intelligent anti-pinch, safe multiplier
One of the most important aspects of the intelligent electric tailgate is to have a smart anti-pinch function to ensure safe use. When the electric tailgate is running, it will be detected in real time. Once it hits the obstacle, it will immediately reverse or stop running to prevent the person or item from being caught.

Multiple ways, control at will
The intelligent electric tailgate supports the tailgate button and the remote control button to open and close. Even if the user does not get off the bus, they can easily control their trunk.

Human technology, high memory
The petite car owners often encounter the embarrassment when closing the tailgate. The electric tailgate can freely adjust the height of the tailgate opening and closing according to their own needs. The system intelligently learns and remembers the memory and realizes flexible customization.

Elegant and comfortable, extremely quiet

When using the smart electric tailgate, it is easy to use and pay attention to the experience. The intelligent electric tailgate uses a silent motor with built-in electric suction device to delay the final closing process, which can achieve extreme silence and improve the experience during operation and shutdown.

Easy and convenient, foot sensing
In addition to the button inside the car and the key to open the tailgate, the smart electric tailgate can also be equipped with a kick function. With the built-in sensor, the tail can be opened with a foot at the bottom of the tail. It is easy and convenient.

Intelligent detection, abnormal reminder
During the process of opening and closing the tailgate, the system will sound to remind you. After the operation, there will be a corresponding sound reminder. The user can judge the current state of the tailgate according to the reminder, and avoid the safety hazard Cause by the tailgate. And property damage.

Automatic door suction
The built-in electric suction device automatically locks and locks the tailgate at the last moment of closing the door, which is safer and more reliable than the traditional inertial mechanical method.

How important it is to be locked the door of the car by using electric power tailgate lifter?
