If you go to the dealer to fix this problem, you may be charged for half an hour labor cost. This procedure is written on the owner’s manual. This is a good example that the owner’s manual is somehow neglected but actually it’s a great source of information about your very own vehicle.
And, it’s the common procedure among Acura and Honda vehicles with AUTO UP/DOWN features.
