Mechanical End Position is the mechanical limited position, and regarded as opened 100%.
In the process of the tailgate's first opening, this position becomes Learning.
After the learning, the tailgate will not go beyond the maximum basic position that is defined as soft stop.
All of the positions will be defined by parameters that are designated by ECU.
