Opening the trunk hands-free

If your hands are full and you have your key with you, just pass your foot under the rear bumper once to open the trunk.
Location of the hands-free sensor.
The sensor detects movement under the rear bumper. Any detected movement unlocks the trunk.

Make sure you have your key with you.

Opening the trunk

Make a single kicking motion under and slightly to the left of the rear bumper and move back.
A short sound response indicates that the trunk is about to open.

 Note

Repeated foot movements cancel or reset the activation.

Closing the trunk

When you want to use the hands-free feature for closing the trunk, repeat the kicking motion once. A short audible response indicates that it's about to close.

 Tip

You can also open the trunk from a distance using the standard key. Press and hold the trunk hatch button to make the hatch open.

If the function appears to be unresponsive, keep in mind that obstructions to the sensor such as mud can interfere with a proper response.
