If the car is equipped with keyless locking and unlocking then you can unlock the tailgate using a foot movement.
The function with both opening and closing of the tailgate is also available when the car is equipped with a power-operated tailgate.
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 a power-operated tailgate.
One of the car’s keys must be within range behind the car, approx. 1 meter (3 feet), for opening and closing, to be possible. This also applies to an already unlocked car in order to avoid accidental opening e.g. in a car wash.
Opening and closing with foot movement
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 or closing is activated – the tailgate is opened/closed.
If several kicking motions take place without a key sufficiently close, the opening will not be possible until after a certain delay.
Do not leave your foot in the kicking motion under the car, this could cause the activation to fail.
Canceling opening or closing with foot movement
Make one forward kicking motion while opening or closing is in progress.
- Opening or closing the tailgate is stopped.
The key does not need to be in the vicinity of the car to cancel the opening or closing of the tailgate.
If the tailgate is stopped close to the closed position, the next activation will open the tailgate.
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
Antenna locations:
| Under the cup holder in the front section of the tunnel console | |
| In the upper front section of the left-hand rear door | |
| In the upper front section of the right-hand rear door | |
| In the cargo area |
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
Touch-sensitive surfaces
The outside of the door handles contains a recess for locking, while the inside contains a touch-sensitive surface for unlocking.
- Touch-sensitive recess for locking
- Touch-sensitive surface for unlocking
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.
The tailgate handle has a rubberized pressure plate underneath that is only used for unlocking.
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 tailgate is open, you can also lock using the handles on the side doors. In such a case, the tailgate locks after being closed.
Touch the marked surface on the outside of a door handle after the door has been closed.
You can also lock the car using the keyless function by pressing the
- The lock indicator on the instrument panel starts to flash to confirm that the car is locked.
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.
If the car has been locked and the tailgate is still open, make sure that the key has not been left in the cargo area when the tailgate is closed.
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.
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.
