Before Driving
WARNING!
• Activate power boot lid/Hand free
only when vehicle is at a standstill.
• Always pay utmost attention when
opening and closing the boot lid. If
for any reason the protection system
might fail to respond, it could cause
injury to anyone within the operating
3
area.
• After the closing command, always
make sure that power boot lid/Hand
free is completely closed.
CAUTION!
• Under extreme weather conditions,
boot lid seal could freeze and
compromise power boot lid automatic
opening and closing.
• Before opening power boot lid, make
sure that no objects or snow are set
on boot lid or might jam or prevent its
opening.
Hands Free Power Boot Lid Release and
Closing ( )
"Hands Free" mode is controlled by the
"Passive Entry" system (see chapter
"Passive Entry System" in this section),
which automatically releases and closes
the power boot lid when the foot is
placed in the area under the rear bumper.
120
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob within 1 m (3.3 ft) of the
power boot lid/Hands free.
The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along and
underneath the central portion of the rear
bumper.
To activate the power boot lid, stand
behind the vehicle, near the boot lid, and
move your foot under the bumper as if to
kick something. Do not place your foot
too close to the bumper or touch the
underbody.
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 boot lid with the "Hands
Free" mode, make sure the key fob
is outside the range of use (1 m/3.3
ft). Otherwise, the power boot lid
can be opened accidentally by an
unintentional movement of the foot.
NOTE:
During manual or automatic car washing,
make sure the key fob is outside the
range of use (1 m/3.3 ft).
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 Hands free will activate the
power boot lid within two seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
Hands free will:
• unlock and completely open the power
boot lid;
• after another kick, will stop the power
boot lid;
• after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close unless
stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
Hands free will:
• completely close the power boot lid but
not lock the car;
