Opening and closing the boot lid with foot movement*
If the car is equipped with keyless locking and unlocking* then you can open the boot lid with a foot movement.
The function with both opening and closing of the boot lid is also available when the car is equipped with power operated boot lid*.
Note
The foot-operated boot lid function is available in two versions:
- Only opening with foot movement.
- Both opening and closing with foot movement.
Note that the function for closing with foot movement requires power operated boot lid*.

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 possible. This also applies to an already unlocked car in order to avoid accidental opening e.g. in a car wash.

If several kicking motions take place without an approved remote control key being located behind the car, opening or closing will not be possible until after a certain delay.
Do not leave your foot positioned under the car during the kicking motion. This could cause activation to fail.
Cancel closing with a foot movement
The remote control key does not have to be in the vicinity of the car to cancel closing.
