The movement-activated rear lid opening (also known as "Hands-free trunk release") is sporadically inoperative.
This feature is installed on the following vehicles with Audi advanced key (PR No. 4I3):
• A6/A7 from CW 22/2013 production.
• A8 from CW 45/2011 production.
Technical Background
Hands-free trunk release system, operating parameters
1. The system is only active when the ignition is switched off.
2. The function works via the advanced key system. Operation may temporarily be affected from other signal
transmitters. Examples include additional remote keys or a cell phone in the same pocket as the vehicle key or
interference from nearby transmitters of the same frequency (TV transmitters, wireless headphones, other vehicle
remote controls, etc.).
3. The optimal movement is a straight forward and backward motion of the foot under the rear bumper (Figure 1).
Other movements, such as from left to right or holding the foot under the bumper, may not be recognized by the
system.
