Honda CR-V: Precautions for Opening/Closing the Tailgate / Programming Tailgate Position
The extent to which the power tailgate automatically opens can be programed.
To program:
- Open the tailgate to the desired position.
- If you want to reprogram the power tailgate to open all the way,
manually raise the tailgate to its upper most position and follow the
next step.

- Press and hold the tailgate inner button until you hear short two beeps
following one long buzzer.

If the tailgate is only slightly opened, the position cannot be programmed,
even if you push the inner button.
Press the button on the tailgate to close the
power tailgate.
The beeper sounds.
If you press the button again while the power
tailgate is moving, it will stop...
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...
