- Fig. 1 Rear of the vehicle: Foot gesture
Applies to vehicles: with convenience key and power-operated boot lid
Important: The car key must be on your person and you must be standing behind the boot lid. The ignition must be switched off. Take care not to slip.
With a single fluid movement, swing your foot under the bumper and back without touching it Fig. 1. The boot lid will open when the system detects the gesture.
The boot lid will open only if you make the exact gesture described above. This is to prevent the boot lid from opening in similar situations, for instance if you walk between the rear of the vehicle and a garage door.
General notes
The system may be temporarily deactivated to protect the battery if this function is triggered too many times in succession. This could happen, for instance, if you were to park near a hedge and the wind were to blow the branches back and forth under the vehicle over an extended period. The function is automatically restored after a while.
Note
Do NOT carry the car key on your person when washing the car with a high-pressure cleaner or similar. Otherwise the boot lid could open.
