- The rotating speed of motor can be controlled by the hall sensor built into the trunk lid motor.
- It increases motor speed if It is slower than set value and vice versa.
- if the pulse interval of the hall sensor is long, the operation will be stopped after determining that there is jamming or obstacle in the operating range.
