Volvo XC40 Twin Engine (2020 year). Manual in english - page 14

It is important that only one touch-sensi-
tive surface is activated at a time. Gripping
the handle while touching the lock surface
risks giving double commands. This means
that the requested activity (locking/unlock-
ing) will not be executed, or will be execu-
ted with a delay.

Tailgate handle

The tailgate handle has a rubberised pressure
plate that is only used for unlocking.

Keyless locking and unlocking

Be aware that the system may be activated
in connection with car washing if the
remote control key is in range.

Operating the tailgate with foot

movement

A function which allows the tailgate to open
and close by moving a foot under the rear
bumper makes life easier when your hands
are full.

If the car is equipped with keyless locking and
unlocking

then you can unlock the tailgate

with a foot movement.

The function with both opening and closing of
the tailgate is also available when the car is
equipped with power operated tailgate

The foot-operated tailgate function is avail-

The sensor is located on left of centre in the bumper.

One of the car's remote control keys must be
within range behind the car, approx. 1 metre
(3 feet), for opening and closing to be possi-
ble. This also applies to an already unlocked
car in order to avoid accidental opening e.g. in
a car wash.

forward kicking motion under

the left part of the rear bumper. Then take
a step back. The bumper must not be
touched.
> A short acoustic signal sounds when

If several kicking motions take place without
an approved remote control key being located
behind the car, opening will not be possible
until after a certain delay.

Do not leave your foot positioned under the
car during the kicking motion. This could
cause activation to fail.

Cancelling opening or closing with foot
movement

–

Make

one

forward kicking motion while

opening or closing is in progress in order
to stop the movement of the tailgate.

The remote control key does not have to be in
the vicinity of the car to cancel opening or
closing of the tailgate.

If the tailgate is stopped close to closed posi-
tion, the next activation will open the tailgate.

There is a risk of reduced function, or no
function, if the rear bumper is loaded with
large amounts of ice, snow, dirt or similar.
For this reason, make sure you keep it
clean.

Pay attention to the possibility that the sys-
tem may be activated in a car wash or sim-
ilar if the remote key is within range.
