Power Tailgate (EX-L and Touring)

What’s the Benefit?

The power tailgate feature provides convenient operation for a diverse group of CR-V buyers, and its stop-and-hold and programmable-height features allow a high level of customization.

The Feature:

CR-V EX-L and Touring models include a power tailgate.

• It can be operated remotely with the key fob from up to 50 feet away, or by pushing a button from the driver’s seat.
• An electric motor will raise and lower the tailgate.
• This feature is especially convenient when the owner is carrying items back to the vehicle, doesn’t have a hand free to open the tailgate and would prefer not to place items on the pavement.
• When closing, small-statured customers will not have to worry about reaching for the handle, and older customers need not worry about flexibility or strength.
• The driver can also close the tailgate using the button to the left of the steering column or a button on the tailgate itself.
• The stop-and-hold function allows you to push the tailgate switch while it’s opening so the tailgate will stop immediately—such as to avoid hitting a wall behind the vehicle.
• The programmable-height function is designed to limit how high the tailgate opens with every use; here’s how it works:
  • With the tailgate open, simply pull the tailgate down to the desired height; it will hold its position.
  • Then push and hold the tailgate switch until it beeps twice; now the new opening height has been programmed.
