Boot access
You have several options for accessing the boot hatch. For example, you can open it manually or use the hands-free feature.
Warning
Be aware when the boot is opening or closing. Make sure that no persons are in the vicinity of the boot when it is in motion. Always use the boot access functions with caution. If there is an obstruction when closing the boot, you will hear a beep.
Do not interfere with the boot's support arms, these are highly pressurised and tampering with them can result in serious injury.
After use, check the display for indications that the boot is fully closed.
Note
Pinch protection
The car can detect obstructions to the boot hatch when opening or closing. If the boot hatch tries to close with an obstruction in the way, you will hear a warning sound and the boot will open fully. If pinch protection activates while the boot hatch is opening, the boot hatch will stop moving.
Opening the boot manually
If the car is unlocked, you can simply open the boot using the button above the number plate.
Opening and closing the boot hands-free
If you're carrying a distance-capable key, you can use the hands-free feature. Make a single kicking motion under the rear bumper and the boot will open or close automatically.
Access via the centre display
You can open and close the boot via controls in the centre display. Press and hold the button to complete the boot movement.
Using the boot closing button
Press the boot closing button on the inner right side of the boot hatch to close it.
You can also use the closing button to adjust how far the boot opens. This is useful if you want the boot hatch to stay within easy reach or if you are somewhere with a low ceiling, such as a garage.
Locking the boot
The boot will automatically lock when you close all of the doors and lock the car as you normally would. You can also press the boot locking button on the inside of the boot hatch or lock and unlock the boot via the Volvo Cars app.
Press the boot locking button when carrying a distance-capable key to close the boot and lock the car. If the boot can't lock for some reason, you will hear three beeps.
Note
Locking with the boot open
If the boot is not properly closed when you lock the car, the alarm won't be fully enabled. In these cases, the alarm will only protect the side doors.
The car also won't detect any motion inside if you've locked it with the boot still open.
Once you close the boot, it will lock and be covered by the alarm.
