Keyless unlocking of the trunk lid using a foot movement
One of the vehicle’s keys or your phone must be within range for locking and unlocking to be possible.
The sensor is located behind the left-side rear tire.
One of the vehicle’s keys must be within range behind the vehicle, approx. 1 meter (3 feet), for opening to be possible. This applies even if the vehicle is unlocked in order to prevent the trunk lid from inadvertently opening e.g. at a car wash.
Kicking motion within the sensor’s activation area.
- Make one forward kick movement on the side of the left-hand rear tire. Take a step back.
> A brief audible signal will sound when opening is activated – the trunk lid will open/close.
If several opening or closing attempts have been made without the key in range behind the vehicle, foot movement operation will not be available for a short period of time.
Do not keep your foot under the vehicle in a kicking motion. This may prevent activation.
Closing the trunk lid
The trunk lid can be closed by manually pushing it down.
There is a risk of reduced or lost function if there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc. on the left-hand rear bumper. Make sure to keep the bumper clean.
Please note that the system could be inadvertently activated in a car wash or similar if the key is within range.
Do not drive with the trunk lid open. Toxic exhaust fumes can be sucked into the vehicle through the trunk.
