If the car is equipped with keyless locking and unlocking (Option/accessory.) 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 (Option/accessory.)

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 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
- 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 opening or closing of the tailgate.
If the tailgate is stopped close to 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.

Fuses in cargo area

Special pliers are housed on the inside of the cover to facilitate the replacement of tripped fuses.
The fuse box in the engine compartment also provides space for several spare fuses.
Positions
The positions of the fuses are shown on the inside of the cover. Functions and components in the fuse table cover several models and engine alternatives. A fuse description can therefore apply to fewer than those in the table, or be completely missing, depending on how the car is equipped.
If a position has multiple table values, it is due to variations in equipment level. In which case, follow the value of the fuse being replaced. In the event of doubt – contact a workshop. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
