Make sure that the key is at least 3 m away
from the vehicle.
General notes
With KEYLESS-GO and HANDS-FREE
ACCESS, you can open or close the tailgate or
stop the procedure without using your hands.
This is useful if you have your hands full. To do
this, make a kicking movement under the
bumper with your foot.
Observe the following points:
Carry your KEYLESS-GO key about your
R
person. The KEYLESS-GO key must be in
the rear detection range of the vehicle.
When making the kicking movement, make
R
sure that you are standing firmly on the
ground and that there is sufficient clear-
ance to the rear of the vehicle. You could
otherwise lose your balance, e.g. on ice.
Always ensure that you only make a kicking
R
movement within the detection range of
sensors :.
Stand at least 30 cm away from the rear
R
area while doing so.
Do not come into contact with the bumper
R
while making the kicking movement. Oth-
erwise, the sensors may not function cor-
rectly.
HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
R
when the engine is started.
If a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear
R
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, HANDS-
FREE ACCESS could be triggered. The tail-
Luggage compartment
gate could thus be opened or closed unin-
tentionally, for example, if you:
fold the ball coupling in or out
-
couple or uncouple a trailer
-
fit or remove a rear-mounted bicycle rack
-
load/unload bicycles on/from a rear-
-
mounted bicycle rack
sit on the edge of the luggage compart-
-
ment
set down or lift up an object behind the
-
vehicle
polish the rear of the vehicle
-
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about
your person in such situations. This will
prevent the unintentional opening/closing
of the tailgate.
Dirt caused by road salt around sensors :
R
may restrict functionality.
Using HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
R
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
Operation
To open/close: kick into sensor detection
X
range : under the bumper with your foot.
Two warning tones sound while the tailgate
is opening or closing.
If the tailgate does not open/close after
X
several attempts: wait at least ten sec-
onds then kick under the bumper once
again.
If you hold your foot under the bumper for too
long, the tailgate does not open or close.
