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
Inspect above and beside both Falcon Wing doors and remove snow, ice, people and objects.
- 02
Touch Controls > Locks > Falcon Door Height and select the lower height when needed.
- 03
Open a door from the pillar switch or touchscreen while standing clear and monitoring its complete movement.
- 04
If the screen reports Calibration Required, move to an area with generous side and overhead clearance.
- 05
Touch Controls > Service > Calibrate Doors and follow the touchscreen instructions without entering the movement area.
Important limits
- Door sensors cannot detect every object or body part.
- Calibration moves the doors through an unusually wide range and requires extra space.
- Never override obstacle detection without visually confirming safe clearance.
Quick checks.
- ✓Clear snow or ice before operating a door.
- ✓Use the pillar switch or touchscreen to open slowly when water or snow sits on the roof glass.
- ✓Run service calibration only when the vehicle explicitly reports a calibration issue.
