Keyless opening and closing of the tailgate using a foot movement
To make it easier to operate the tailgate when your hands are full, it can be opened and closed by moving your foot in a forward kicking motion under the bumper.
Note
One of the vehicle's keys must be within range for locking and unlocking to be possible.
One of the vehicle's keys must be within range behind the vehicle, approx. 1 meter (3 feet), for opening 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 forward kicking motion under the center of the rear bumper.
Take one step back, without touching the bumper.
A brief audible signal will sound when opening or closing is activated – the tailgate 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 opening or closing using a foot movement
Make one slow forward kicking motion while the tailgate is opening or closing to stop its movement.
The remote key does not need to be within range of the vehicle to interrupt opening or closing.
If the tailgate stops near the closed position, it will open the next time it is activated.
Note
There is a risk of reduced or lost function if there are large amounts of snow, ice, dirt, etc. on the left-hand 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 key is within range.
