LOCKS AND ALARM

The sensor is positioned to the left of centre in the
bumper 18 .
One of the car's remote control keys must be
19
within range behind the car in order for open-
ing/closing to be possible. This also applies to an
already unlocked car in order to avoid accidental
opening e.g. in a car wash.
18 If the car is equipped with skid plate/diffuser* then the detector is positioned out towards the left-hand corner of the bumper.
19 See the section "Remote control key range" for more information.
20 Only applies to cars equipped with keyless locking/unlocking (Passive Entry)*.

Operation
Kicking motion within the detector's valid activation area.
Opening/closing
–
Make one slow, forward kicking motion
under the left part of the rear bumper. Then
take a step back. The bumper must not be
touched.
> A short acoustic signal sounds when
opening/closing is activated - the tailgate
is opened/closed.
If the tailgate is on open position then it is
always closed on activation via foot move-
ment.
The tailgate can also be closed via the instrument
panel's button, the remote control key or the but-
ton(s) 20 under the tailgate. For more information,
see the section "Power operated tailgate".
If several kicking motions take place without an
approved remote control key being located
behind the car, opening will not be possible until
after a certain delay.
Do not leave your foot positioned under the car
during the kicking motion. This could cause acti-
vation to fail.
Cancel opening/closing
– Make one slow forward kicking motion when
opening/closing is in progress in order to
stop the movement of the tailgate.
The remote control key does not have to be in
the vicinity of the car to cancel opening/closing.
NOTE
There is a risk of reduced function, or no
function, if the rear bumper is loaded with
large amounts of ice, snow, dirt or similar. For
this reason, make sure you keep it clean.
NOTE
Pay attention to the possibility that the sys-
tem may be activated in a car wash or similar
if the remote key is within range.
