The foot-operated boot lid function is available in two versions:
- Only opening with foot movement.
- Both opening and closing with foot movement.
Note that the function for closing with foot movement requires power operated boot lid.
- The sensor is positioned to the left of centre in the bumper.
- One of the car’s keys must be within range behind the car, approx. 1 metre (3 feet), for activation. This also applies if the car is unlocked.
Opening and closing with foot movement
- Kicking motion within the detector’s activation area.
- Make one forward kicking motion in the sensor area under the rear bumper. Then take a step back. The bumper must not be touched.
- A short acoustic signal sounds when opening and closing is activated – the boot lid is opened/closed.
- If several kicking motions take place without an approved key being located behind the car, opening or closing will not be possible until after a certain delay.
- Do not leave your foot positioned under the car during the kicking motion. The activation may then fail.
Cancel closing with a foot movement
- Make one forward kicking motion while closing is in progress in order to stop the movement of the boot lid.
- The movement of the boot lid is stopped and it returns to fully open. The boot lid can then be operated manually.
- The key does not have to be in the vicinity of the car to cancel closing.
Note
- Make sure you keep the area around the foot movement detector clean. A build-up of dirt, ice or snow may disrupt its function.
- Pay attention to the possibility that the system may be activated in a car wash if the key is within range.
Antenna locations for the start and lock systems
An antenna for the keyless starting system and antennas for the keyless locking system are built into the car.
Antenna locations:
| 1 | Under the cup holder in the front section of the tunnel console |
| 2 | In the upper front section of the left-hand rear door |
| 3 | In the upper front section of the right-hand rear door |
| 4 | In the cargo area |
Warning
People with an implanted pacemaker should keep it at a distance of at least 22 cm (9 inches) away from the antennas to prevent interference between the pacemaker and the key system.
