Honda CR-V: Precautions for Opening/Closing the Tailgate / Auto-Closer
If you manually close the power tailgate, it latches automatically.
The auto-closer feature does not activate if you press
the tailgate outer handle while the power tailgate is
closing.
Do not put any force on the tailgate while the power
tailgate is latching.

manually close the tailgate and let it latch

around the tailgate as it starts to latch itself.
The extent to which the power tailgate automatically opens can be programed.

next step...

the tailgate)...
