How to use it

Step by step.

  1. 01

    Remove snow or ice and inspect above and beside both Falcon Wing doors.

  2. 02

    Touch Controls > Locks > Falcon Door Height and select the lower opening height when needed.

  3. 03

    Operate a door from the pillar switch or touchscreen while standing clear and monitoring its entire movement.

  5. 05

    Touch Controls > Service > Calibrate Doors and follow the touchscreen sequence without entering the movement area.

Important limits

  • Door sensors cannot detect every object or body part.
  • Calibration moves the lower door fully outward and the upper section fully down, requiring substantially more space than routine operation.
  • Never override obstacle detection without visually confirming safe clearance.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓Clear snow and ice before retrying a door.
  • ✓Use the pillar switch or touchscreen to open slowly when water or snow rests on the roof glass.
  • ✓Run calibration only for the displayed calibration condition; persistent faults require service.
