Operating the trunk lid with a foot movement*

To make it easier to access the trunk when your hands are full, the trunk lid can be opened by making a foot movement* under the rear bumper.

PX-2122-Foot movement sensor placement
The sensor is located to the left of center under the rear bumper.

One of the vehicle's keys must be in range behind the vehicle, within about 1 meter (3 feet), for activation to be possible. This also applies when the vehicle is unlocked.

Opening the trunk lid with a foot movement

  1. PX-2122-Open tailgate with footmovement
    Kicking motion within the sensor's activation area.
    Make one forward kicking motion with your foot under the left section of the rear bumper. Take a step back. Do not touch the bumper.
    A brief audible signal will sound when opening is activated – the trunk lid will open/close.

If several opening 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.

The trunk lid is closed by pressing it down manually.

Note

Please note that the system could be inadvertently activated in a car wash if the key is within range.
