Buick Velite 7 Memory Height Adjustment Hands-free Access Power Tailgate

What is the power tailgate?

The term "power tailgate" is another name for an electric tailgate or automatic tailgate, as mentioned in the previous response. The power tailgate refers to the same feature that allows the rear door or hatch of a vehicle to be opened and closed automatically using an electric motor and controlled by the vehicle's electrical system.

The power tailgate offers convenience to vehicle owners by eliminating the need for manual effort when opening or closing the rear door. Instead of physically lifting or pulling the tailgate, the power tailgate can be operated with the press of a button on the key fob, interior control panel, or through a sensor-based activation system.

The power tailgate shares the same benefits as the electric tailgate, including ease of use, especially when carrying heavy items or when hands are occupied. It provides added convenience when loading or unloading cargo, groceries, or luggage from the rear of the vehicle.

Similar to the electric tailgate, the power tailgate may also incorporate safety features such as obstacle detection sensors to prevent accidents or injuries. These sensors can detect obstacles in the path of the closing tailgate and automatically reverse the operation to avoid collisions.

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.

What is the advantages for electric tailgate?

Electric tailgates offer several advantages over traditional manual tailgates. Here are some key benefits:

The working principle of the strut:

When the motor is not working, the resistance of the screw rod, the resistance of the motor gear box, the spring force and the gravity of the door form a balance torque to keep the door hovering at any position.

When the motor is working, the motor torque breaks the balance. According to the motor torque direction, the strut performs telescopic movement to drive the door to open and close.
