Fig. 33 Rear of Audi Q7: Foot gesture
Important: The car key must be on your person. You must be standing behind the boot lid. The distance from the rear of the Audi Q7 should be approx. 20 cm. The ignition must be switched off. Take care not to slip.
With a single fluid movement, swing your foot forwards and back under the bumper without touching it Fig. 33►. The boot lid will open/close when the system detects the gesture.
The boot lid will open/close 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 Audi Q7 and a garage door.
A warning signal sounds before the boot lid closes. You can stop the boot lid from closing by repeating the gesture described above.
The Audi Q7 is not locked when it is closed by foot gesture.
General notes
In certain situations, the system may be temporarily unavailable or the functionality may be restricted. This can happen in the following cases, for instance:
  • If the boot lid was closed immediately beforehand.
  • If you park near a hedge and the wind blows the branches back and forth under the Audi Q7 over an extended period.
  • If you wash your Audi Q7 with a high-pressure cleaner or drive through an automatic car wash.
  • In heavy rain.
  • If the bumper is heavily soiled (e.g. after driving on salted roads).
  • If the radio signal from the remote control key was affected by interference from other transmitters (e.g. mobile phones or remote control devices).
WARNING
  • On Audi Q7s with an anti-theft alarm system*, do not leave anyone (especially children) in the car if it is locked from the outside and the safelock mechanism* is activated: the doors and windows cannot then be opened from the inside link►. Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
  • Always be careful when closing the boot lid. A safety feature is provided (pinch protection), but this may not always be able to prevent serious injuries to yourself or others in all circumstances.
  • To prevent any risk of injury, always make sure that no one is in the path of the boot lid - in particular around the hinges and the upper and lower edges.
  • The boot lid must always be completely closed when the Audi Q7 is moving; otherwise toxic exhaust fumes can be drawn into the interior.
  • If a luggage rack (e.g. a bicycle carrier) is mounted to the boot lid, the boot lid may not open completely or may move downwards by itself due to the added weight. For this reason, make sure you support the boot lid or take the luggage off the carrier before opening the boot lid - risk of injury!
