WARNING!
•
Pay careful attention to the exhaust
tailpipes as they can reach high
temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
•
When it is not necessary to open the
power trunk lid with the "Hands
Free" mode, make sure the key fob
results outside the range of use
(3.3 ft/1 m). Otherwise, the power
trunk lid/Hand Free can be opened
accidentally by an unintentional
movement of the foot.
In order for the sensors to detect
your foot movement, move your
foot towards the vehicle rather than
sideways and immediately pull it back:
from this moment, the power trunk lid
will activate within two seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
power trunk lid will:
• unlock and completely open;
• after another kick, will stop;
• after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close
unless stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
power trunk lid will:
• completely close but not lock;
• another kick before the completed
closing can stop the movement;
• if the movement was stopped
another kick operation will invert a
complete opening.
NOTE:
• If your foot movement fails to
activate the power trunk lid
movement, wiggling your foot under
the bumper will not help. Repeat the
whole kick movement.
• In particular situations, external
factors affecting the sensor area
may trigger the "Hands Free" power
trunk lid release function. For
example, when washing the vehicle,
a water jet aimed at the sensor area
may trigger the "Hands Free" power
trunk release function. Keep the key
fob away from the sensing range of
the sensors (10 ft/3 m) or disable the
"Hands Free" function from the MIA
menu (see "Functions of Settings
Menu on MIA" in section "Dashboard
Before Starting
Instruments and Controls"). A key fob
located in the front seat passenger
area is considered out of range of the
"Hand Free" trunk release sensor
• If somebody or something knocks
against the power trunk lid while it is
moving, the safety system might stop
lid opening or closing movement.
Trunk Lid Emergency Release
To access the trunk compartment
from the rear seats, operate the
emergency release lever pulling
tab between the seatback and the
bolster in order to lower the rear seat
backrest (see "Cargo Area" in section
"Understanding the Vehicle"). Release
the trunk lid from inside by pulling on
the phosphorescent handle (
chapter "Trunk Safety" in section
"Safety").
If the power release control fails to
operate by either the key fob or by
pressing the button on the dome
console, the vehicle battery could be
depleted or disconnected. If the doors
are still locked, use the emergency
mechanical key inserted in the driver's
door lock to enter the vehicle and
open the hood.
In this condition, it is possible to
temporarily power the system by using
