Operating the boot lid with foot movement

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

  • The sensor is located in the centre of 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 the boot lid 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 the boot lid is opened.
  • 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.
  • The boot lid is closed by pressing it down manually.

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.

Keyless locking and unlocking with touch-sensitive surfaces

With the keyless locking and unlocking function, there is no need to use the key’s buttons – the key just needs to be near the car. 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.

  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.
Boot lid handle
The boot lid handle has a rubberised pressure plate underneath 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 surfaces to lock or unlock the car. There must be a key in the vicinity of the car.
Note
One of the car’s keys must be within range for locking and unlocking to work.

  1. Touch-sensitive recess for locking
  2. Touch-sensitive surface for unlocking
Note
Be aware that the system may be activated in connection with car washing if the key is in range.

Keyless locking

  • You can activate keyless locking by touching the handle on the car when it is fully closed.
  • When the boot lid is open, you can also lock using the handles on the side doors. In such a case, the boot lid locks after being closed.
  • Touch the marked surface on the outside of a door handle after the door has been closed.
  • The lock indicator on the instrument panel starts to flash to confirm that the car is locked.
Closing the windows with keyless locking
To simultaneously close all side windows and the panoramic roof – hold a finger against the touch-sensitive recess on the outside of the door handle until they have closed.

Keyless unlocking

  • Grasp a door handle or gently press the rubberised pressure plate beneath the boot lid handle to unlock the car.
  • The lock indicator on the instrument panel stops flashing to indicate that the car is unlocked.
Automatic relocking
If the car has not been opened within 2 minutes after unlocking, it is relocked automatically. The function reduces the risk of the car being left unlocked unintentionally.

Settings for Keyless entry

It is possible to select different sequences for Keyless entry.
  1. Press in the centre display.
  2. Press Controls.
  3. Select setting for unlocking.

Keyless unlocking of boot lid

With keyless locking and unlocking, it is sufficient to press lightly on the rubberized pressure plate on the boot lid handle to unlock.

Note

  • One of the car’s keys must be within range behind the car for unlocking to work.

The boot lid is held closed by an electrical lock.

To open:

  1. Press gently on the rubberised pressure plate beneath the boot lid handle.
    >The lock is released.
  2. Lift by the outside handle in order to open the boot lid.

Important

  • Handle the rubber panel with care to avoid damage to its electrical contact. Minimal force is required for activation.
  • Do not exert the lifting force on the rubber panel when opening – lift the handle.

It is also possible to open the boot lid with a kicking motion under the rear bumper.

Warning
Do not drive with an open boot lid! Toxic exhaust fumes could be drawn into the car through the cargo area.
