Entry System” in this section), which
automatically releases and closes the

place your foot in the area under the

the trunk 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.

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 Trunk Lid/Hand Free with the
Hands Free mode, make sure the key
fob results outside the range of use
(3.3 ft/1 m). Otherwise, the Power
