To facilitate the operation of the tailgate when your hands are occupied, it can be opened/closed by means of a forward kicking motionunder the rear bumper.
The sensor is positioned to the left of centre in the bumper 13
.
One of the car's remote control keys must be within range 14
behind the car in order for open-
ing/closing to be possible. This also applies to an already unlocked car in order to avoid accidentalopening e.g. in a car wash.
Operation
Kicking motion within the detector's valid activation area.
Opening/closing
NOTE
The foot-operated tailgate function is availa- ble in two versions:
• Opening and closing with foot movement
• Only unlocking with foot movement (liftup the tailgate manually to open it)
Note that the function for opening and clos-ing with foot movement requires the "Power operated tailgate" * option.
–Make one slow, forward kicking motion
under the left part of the rear bumper. Then take a step back. The bumper must not betouched.
> A short acoustic signal sounds when opening/closing is activated - the tailgate is opened/closed. If the tailgate is on open position then it is always closed on activation via foot move-ment.
The tailgate can also be closed via the instrumentpanel's button, the remote control key or the but- ton(s) 15

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

Rustproofing
The car has effective protection against corro- sion.
Anti-corrosion protection for the body consists of modern metallic protective coatings on the sheetmetal, a high-quality painting process, corrosion-protected and minimised metal overlap, andshielding plastic components, abrasion protectionand supplemental rust inhibitor in exposed areas.This combination guarantees that the body willremain free from corrosion problems over time. Inthe chassis, exposed components of the wheelsuspension are made of corrosion-resistant castaluminium.
Inspection and maintenanceThe car's anti-corrosion protection normallyrequires no maintenance, but a good way to fur-ther reduce the risk of corrosion is to keep thecar clean. Strong alkaline or acidic cleaning solu-tions must always be avoided on glossy trim com-ponents. Any stone chips should be rectified assoon as they are discovered.
