Cancelling opening or closing with foot

movement

Opening and closing with foot

movement

–

Make one forward kicking motion while

opening or closing is in progress in order

to stop the movement of the tailgate.

The remote control key does not have to be in

the vicinity of the car to cancel opening or

closing of the tailgate.

If the tailgate is stopped close to closed posi-

tion, the next activation will open the tailgate.

The sensor is located on left of centre in the bumper.

NOTE

There is a risk of reduced function, or no

function, if the rear bumper is loaded with

large amounts of ice, snow, dirt or similar.

For this reason, make sure you keep it

clean.

One of the car's remote control keys must be

within range behind the car, approx. 1 metre

(3 feet), for opening and closing to be possi-

ble. This also applies to an already unlocked

car in order to avoid accidental opening e.g. in

a car wash.

Kicking motion within the detector's activation area.

–

Make one forward kicking motion under

the left part of the rear bumper. Then take

a step back. The bumper must not be

touched.

> A short acoustic signal sounds when

opening or closing is activated - the

tailgate is opened/closed.

NOTE

Pay attention to the possibility that the sys-

tem may be activated in a car wash or sim-

ilar if the remote key is within range.

If several kicking motions take place without

an approved remote control key being located

behind the car, opening will not be possible

until after a certain delay.
