Operating the tailgate with foot movement

(Option/accessory)

The tailgate can be opened and closed using a foot movement under the rear bumper. The function makes things easier when your hands are full.

If the car is equipped with keyless locking and unlocking then you can unlock the tailgate with a foot movement.

The function with both opening and closing of the tailgate is also available when the car is equipped with power operated tailgate.

Note
The foot-operated tailgate function is available in two versions:

  • Opening and closing with foot movement
  • Only unlocking with foot movement (lift up the tailgate manually to open it)

Note that the function for opening and closing with foot movement requires power operated tailgate.

Keyless-locking-and-unlocking-fig-1The detector is located on the left-hand side of the bumper.

One of the car’s keys must be within range behind the car, approx. 1 metre (3 feet). This also applies when the car is unlocked.

Opening and closing with foot movement

Keyless-locking-and-unlocking-fig-2Kicking motion within the detector’s activation area.

Make one forward kicking motion under the left part of the rear bumper. The bumper must not be touched. Then take a step back.

A short acoustic signal sounds when the tailgate is opened/closed.

If several kicking motions are made without a key within range, the function is deactivated after a while.

Do not leave your foot positioned under the car during the kicking motion. The activation may then fail.

Cancelling opening or closing with foot movement

Make one forward kicking motion while opening or closing is in progress in order to stop the movement of the tailgate.

The key does not need to be in range to cancel opening or closing.

If the tailgate is stopped just before being fully closed, it will open on the next activation.

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.

Note
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.

Keyless-locking-and-unlocking-fig-3

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.

Keyless locking and unlocking with touch-sensitive surfaces

(Option/accessory)

With the keyless locking and unlocking function, just carrying a key in a pocket or bag will suffice. The car is locked or unlocked via a touch-sensitive surface on the door handle.

Touch-sensitive surfaces

Door handle

The outside of the door handles contains a recess for locking, while the inside contains a touch-sensitive surface for unlocking.

Keyless-locking-and-unlocking-fig-4

  1. Touch-sensitive recess for locking
  2. Touch-sensitive surface for unlocking

Note
It is important that only one touch-sensitive surface is activated at a time. Gripping the handle while touching the lock surface risks giving double commands. This means that the requested activity (locking/unlocking) will not be executed, or will be executed with a delay.

Tailgate handle

The tailgate handle has a rubberised pressure plate that is only used for unlocking.

Note
Be aware that the system may be activated in connection with car washing if the key is in range.

Keyless locking and unlocking

With keyless locking and unlocking, it is sufficient to touch the door handle’s touch-sensitive surface to lock or unlock the car.

Note
One of the car’s keys must be within range for locking and unlocking to work.

Keyless locking

All side doors must be closed to be able to lock the car. The tailgate, on the other hand, can be open when locking the car with a side door handle.

Touch the marked surface towards the rear on the outside of a door handle after the door has been closed. Or press the Keyless-locking-and-unlocking-fig-9 button on the underside of the tailgate before it closes.

The lock indicator on the instrument panel starts to flash to indicate the car is locked.

To close all side windows and the panoramic roof simultaneously – place a finger against the touch-sensitive recess on the outside of the door handle and hold it there until all of the side windows and the panoramic roof have been closed.

Locking when the tailgate is open

If the car has been locked and the tailgate is still open, make sure that the key is not left in the cargo area when the tailgate is closed.

Note
If the key is detected inside the car, the tailgate will not lock when it is closed.

Keyless unlocking

Grasp a door handle or gently press the rubberised pressure plate beneath the tailgate handle to unlock the car.

The lock indicator on the instrument panel stops flashing to indicate that the car is unlocked.

Automatic relocking

If none of the doors or the tailgate is opened within 2 minutes of unlocking, they are locked automatically. This function prevents the car from being left unlocked unintentionally.
