Operating the trunk lid with a foot movement*

To make it easier to operate the trunk lid when your hands are full, it can be opened by moving your foot in a forward kicking motion under the rear bumper.

Opening the trunk lid with a foot movement

P5-15w19 - Tailgate Footmovement
Kicking motion within the sensor's activation area.
Make one forward kicking motion with your foot under the left section of the rear bumper. Take a step back. Do not touch the bumper.
A brief audible signal will sound when opening is activated – the trunk lid will open/close.

If several opening attempts have been made without the remote key in range behind the vehicle, foot movement operation will not be available for a short period of time.

Do not keep your foot under the vehicle in a kicking motion. This may prevent activation.

The trunk lid is closed by pressing it down manually.

 Note

Please note that the system could be inadvertently activated in a car wash or similar if the remote key is within range.
