Foot movement to be undertaken
WARNING
During operation without contact, there
is a risk of touching vehicle parts, for example
the hot exhaust system. Danger of injury. Make
sure you are standing securely when you per‐
form the foot movement, and do not touch the
vehicle.◀
1. Stand in the centre behind the vehicle, ap‐
proximately an arm's length away from the
rear of the vehicle.
2. A foot must move as far as possible under
the vehicle in the direction of travel and be
withdrawn again immediately. In this move‐
ment, the leg must pass through the range
of both sensors.
Opening
Perform the foot movement described previ‐
ously.
The tailgate opens, regardless of whether it
was locked or unlocked.
The hazard warning lights flash before open‐
ing.
If the remote control is within the sensor range,
the tailgate can be accidentally opened by an
unintentional or supposedly recognized foot
movement.
The sensor range extends to approx. 1.50 m,
5 ft behind the rear area.
