Boot access

Updated 2024-08-07

The boot hatch is secured and accessed in the same way as the other doors. You can also open it with foot movement and set a specific opening height.

Warning

Be aware when the boot is opening or closing. Make sure that no persons are in the vicinity of the boot when it is in motion. Always use the boot access functions with caution. If there is an obstruction when closing the boot, you will hear a beep.

Do not interfere with the boot's support arms, these are highly pressurised and tampering with them can result in serious injury.

After use, check the display for indications that the boot is fully closed.

Manual access

If the car is unlocked, you can simply open the boot using the button in the middle of the boot hatch.

Hands-free opening

If you're carrying a distance-capable key, you can use the hands-free feature. Make a single kicking motion under the rear bumper to make the boot open automatically.

Buttons on the boot's interior

Button location for opening height — Location of the boot closing button.

Press the close button on the inner right side of the boot hatch to close it.

You can also use the close button to adjust how far the boot opens. This is useful if you want the boot hatch to stay within easy reach or if you are somewhere with a low ceiling, such as a garage.

Press the boot lock button when carrying a distance-capable key to close the boot and lock the car. If the boot can't lock for some reason, you will hear three beeps.

Access via the centre display

You can open and close the boot via controls in the centre display. Press and hold the button to complete the boot movement.

Pinch protection

The car can detect obstructions to the boot hatch when opening or closing. If the boot hatch tries to close with an obstruction in the way, you will hear a warning sound and the boot will open fully. If pinch protection activates while the boot hatch is opening, the boot hatch will stop moving.

Locking with the boot open

Note

If the bonnet or the boot is not properly closed, the alarm will not be fully enabled. In these cases, the alarm will only cover the doors. It won't protect the open bonnet or boot, and the car won't detect any motion inside the car.

Once you close the bonnet or boot, it will be locked and covered by the alarm.

Tip

You can temporarily turn off the ability to lock and set the alarm when the boot is open by selecting the Disable passive arming for 72 h setting in the centre display.
