Boot access

You can open or close the boot in several different ways, from both inside and outside of the car.

 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.

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

After use, ensure that the boot is fully closed.

Never leave children alone in the car. Children may be exposed to potentially harmful temperatures on hot or cold days, or may lock themselves in.

Do not allow children to play in the car or play with any of the car's controls. This reduces the risk of injury to the child or inadvertent activation or deactivation of the car's features.

Manual access

If you're carrying a key with you, you can unlock the boot by gently pressing the rubberised button underneath the handle at the bottom of the boot hatch. Once unlocked, you can open the boot using the same handle.

 Important

Handle the rubberised button with care to avoid damaging its electrical contact.

When opening boot, use the handle to lift the boot hatch rather than the rubberised button.

Using the standard key button

The standard key has a boot hatch button which lets you lock, unlock, open and close the boot from a distance.

Hands-free opening

The hands-free feature lets you open the boot using foot movement. You can learn more about this feature in a separate section of this manual.

Buttons on the boot's interior

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

You can also use the closing 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.

To close the boot and lock the car, press the boot locking button. If the boot can't lock for some reason, you will hear three beeps.

 Note

To ensure that your car locks when you press the boot locking button, make sure your key is somewhere where the car can detect it and that all of the car's side doors are closed.

Dashboard button

You can unlock and open the boot from inside the car using a button on the dashboard, next to the steering wheel.

Press the dashboard button once to unlock the boot or press and hold it for a few seconds to open the hatch. The same button can then be used to close the hatch.

Pinch protection

The car can detect obstructions to the boot hatch when opening or closing. When pinch protection activates, you will hear a warning sound.

If the boot hatch tries to close with an obstruction in the way, the boot will open fully. If pinch protection activates while the boot hatch is opening, the hatch will stop moving.

 Note

If you don't open the boot hatch within a couple of minutes of unlocking it, it locks and arms the alarm automatically.
