Opening tailgate with no-touch
activation
Concept
The tailgate can be opened with no-touch acti‐
vation using the remote control you are carry‐
ing. Two sensors detect a forward-directed
foot motion in the center of the area at the rear
of the vehicle and the tailgate opens.
General information
To avoid locking it in the vehicle, do not place
the remote control in the cargo area.
If the remote control is in the sensor range, the
tailgate may open or close inadvertently if you
unintentionally move your foot or if something
else moves in the detection range.
The sensor has an approximate range of
5 ft/1.50 m extending from the rear of the vehi‐
cle.
If you open the tailgate with no-touch activa‐
tion, locked doors will not be unlocked.
Safety information
WARNING
During no-touch activation, vehicle parts
may be touched, e.g., hot exhaust system.
There is a risk of injury. When moving your
foot, make sure you have a firm stance and do
not touch the vehicle.◀
