TAIL DOOR WINDOW
The tail door window can be lowered using the console switch or the remote handset. On 3 door models, removal of the roof will automatically lower the window. The window can be raised using the console switch or the vehicle key in the tail door key barrel. When the tail door is opened, the tail door window lowers to a ’clear of seal position’ and when the door is closed the window automatically raises to its fully up position.
Power-Up and Calibration
If the vehicle battery has been disconnected, reconnection will require the tail door window to be recalibrated as follows (provided that the alarm is disarmed):
- Battery voltage applied and sensed by the CCU.
- The CCU energizes the tail door window down relay until the window stalls.
- The CCU de-energizes the tail door window.
- With the roof on or roof lowered, switch ignition on and operate tail door window, using console switch, to the fully closed stall position or using the vehicle key in the tail door key barrel until the tail door window is fully closed.
If the vehicle is changed from transit mode to a valid market, the tail door window will be driven fully down and will require the above calibration procedure.
If the tail door window does not complete the calibration procedure successfully, the CCU will sound a warning for approximately 0.8 seconds and the window will lower fully.
Tail door window calibration can fail for the following reasons:
- Window stops before minimum travel is achieved
- Window does not achieve a stall
- Window request removed before stall is achieved
- Tail door opened while driving window up.
Tail Door Open
If the vehicle is unlocked and unarmed and travelling at less than 3 mph (5 km/h), opening the tail door will signal the CCU to initially lower the tail door window to the ’clear of seal’ position and stop. After a delay of approximately 0.5 seconds, the CCU operates the door actuator to allow the door to be opened. If the rear screen wiper is operating it will off-screen park.
Tail Door Close
When the tail door is closed, the tail door window will still be at the ’clear of seal’ position. The CCU will power the window to the fully up position after delay of approximately 0.5 seconds after the door closed signal is sensed by the CCU.
Tail Door Window Lower
NOTE: The rear screen wiper must be parked off-screen before the CCU will allow the tail door window to lower. If the heated rear window (HRW) is operating, the CCU will turn off the HRW when the window is lowered.
Remote Handset Lower
When requesting unlock using the remote handset, if the unlock button remains pressed for a minimum of 1 second with the ignition off and the tail door closed, the CCU will energise the tail door window down relay and lower the window fully.
Console Switch Lower - Inch Down
With the ignition on, pressing the console switch in the down position will signal the CCU to lower the tail door window for as long as the switch is held. The window will stop at the chosen position when the switch is released. When the window is almost fully open, the CCU will continue to lower the window irrespective of whether the switch is pressed or not.
