Opening and closing the trunk lid
with no-touch activation
Concept
The trunk lid can be opened with no-touch acti‐
vation using the vehicle key you are carrying.
With automatic tailgate operation, it can also be
closed with no-touch activation. Two sensors
detect a forward-directed foot motion in the cen‐
tral rear area and the trunk lid is opened or
closed.
General information
To avoid locking the vehicle key in the vehicle,
do not place the vehicle key in the cargo area.
If the vehicle key is in the sensor area, the trunk
lid may open or close inadvertently if you unin‐
tentionally move your foot or if a foot movement
is detected.
The sensor has an approximate range of
5 ft/1.50 m extending from the rear of the vehi‐
cle.
If you open the trunk lid with no-touch activation,
locked doors will not be unlocked.
Contactless opening and closing of the trunk lid
must be activated in the settings.
Safety information

During no-touch activation, vehicle parts may
be touched, such as the hot exhaust gas sys‐
tem. There is a risk of injury. When moving your
foot, make sure you have a firm stance and do
not touch the vehicle.
Warning
Body parts can be jammed when operating the
trunk lid. There is a risk of injury. Make sure that
the area of movement of the trunk lid is clear

NOTICE
During opening, the trunk lid pivots back and
up. There is a risk of damage to property. Make
sure that the area of movement of the trunk lid
