R
Always ensure that you only make the
kicking movement within the detection
range of sensors :.
R
Stand at least 12 in (30 cm) away from the
rear area while doing so.
R
Do not come into contact with the bumper
while making the kicking movement.
Otherwise, the sensors may not function
correctly.
R
HANDS-FREE ACCESS does not function
when the engine is started.
R
If a KEYLESS-GO key is within the rear
detection range of KEYLESS-GO, HAND-
FREE ACCESS could be triggered. For this
reason, the trunk lid/tailgate could open or
close unintentionally, e.g. if you:
-
set something down or lift something up
behind the vehicle
- polish the rear of the vehicle.
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about
your person in these situations or in
situations similar to these. You can thus
avoid unintentionally opening or closing the
trunk lid/tailgate.
R
Using the HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a
prosthetic leg may restrict functionality.
