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 and closed by making a foot movement* 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 if the vehicle is unlocked.
Foot movement operation
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 or closing 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.
Interrupting foot movement operation
Make one forward kicking motion while the trunk lid is closing to stop its movement.
The trunk lid will stop closing and return to its fully open position. The trunk lid can then be opened or closed manually.
The key does not need to be within range of the vehicle to interrupt closing.
Note
Keep the area around the foot movement sensor clean. The accumulation of dirt, ice or snow may interfere with its functioning.
Note
Please note that the system could be inadvertently activated in a car wash if the key is within range.
