Opening and closing the trunk lid with foot movement*
To make it easier to operate the trunk lid when your hands are full, it can be opened and closed by moving your foot in a forward kicking motion under the rear bumper.
One of the vehicle's remote keys must be within range behind the vehicle, approx. 1 meter (3 feet), for opening and closing to be possible. This applies even if the vehicle is unlocked in order to prevent the trunk lid from inadvertently opening e.g. at a car wash.
Foot movement operation
Make one slow 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 remote 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 slow forward kicking motion while the trunk lid is opening/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 remote key does not need to be within range of the vehicle to interrupt closing.
Note
There is a risk of reduced or lost function if there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc. on the rear bumper. Make sure to keep the bumper clean.
Note
Please note that the system could be inadvertently activated in a car wash or similar if the remote key is within range.
