•
After the closing command, always
make sure that power boot
lid/Hands Free is completely closed.
CAUTION!
•
Under extreme weather conditions,
boot lid seal could freeze and
compromise power boot lid/Hands
Free automatic opening and closing.
•
Before opening power boot
lid/Hands Free, make sure that no
objects or snow are set on boot lid or
might jam or prevent its opening.
Hands Free Power Boot Release and
Closing
This mode is controlled by the "Passive
Entry" system (see chapter “Passive
Entry System” in this section), which
automatically releases and closes the
power boot lid/Hands Free when you
place your foot in the area under the
rear bumper.
The system will only operate if the
system acknowledges the presence of
the key fob within 1 m (3.3 ft) of the
power boot lid/Hands Free.
The range of the sensors that detect
your foot movement extends along
and underneath the central portion of
the rear bumper.
To activate the power boot lid/Hands
Free, stand behind the vehicle,
near the boot lid, and move your
foot under the bumper as if to kick
something. Do not place your foot
too close to the bumper or touch the
underbody.
WARNING!
•
Pay careful attention to the exhaust
tailpipes as they can reach high
temperatures and, in case of contact,
they can cause severe burns.
•
When it is not necessary to open the
power boot lid with the "Hands
free" mode, make sure the key fob
results outside the range of use (1
m/3.3 ft). Otherwise, the power
boot lid/Hands Free can be opened
accidentally by an unintentional
movement of the foot.
In order for the sensors to detect
your foot movement, move your
foot towards the vehicle rather than
sideways and immediately pull it back:
from this moment, the power boot
lid/Hands Free will activate within two
seconds.
If closed, with the foot movement the
power boot lid/Hands Free will:
• unlock and completely open;
• after another kick, will stop;
• after another kick, will reverse its
movement and completely close
unless stopped again.
If open, with the foot movement the
power boot lid/Hands Free will:
• completely close but does not lock;
• another kick before the completed
closing can stop the movement;
• if the movement was stopped
another kick operation will invert a
complete opening.
