Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Remove snow or ice and inspect above and beside both Falcon Wing doors.
- 02
Touch Controls > Locks > Falcon Door Height and select the lower opening height when needed.
- 03
Operate a door from the pillar switch or touchscreen while standing clear and monitoring its entire movement.
- 04
Only if Calibration Required appears, move to an area with generous side and overhead clearance.
- 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.
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.
