Using the hands-free function
The hands-free function enables access to the luggage compartment when you have your hands full.
Ensure that the RENAULT card is approximately 1 metre away in the central area of the rear bumper of the vehicle (area B). With the ignition off, stand approximately 45 cm from the vehicle’s rear bumper and move your foot forwards and backwards in area A.
The sensor detects the approach and then the removal of your foot and triggers the opening of the boot lid.
Do not keep your foot in the air. Perform the movement without stopping and without touching the rear bumper.
Activation/deactivation of the hands-free function
From the multimedia screen, select “Vehicle”, “User settings”, “Use handsfree card: open/close”. Select “ON" or "OFF" to activate or deactivate the function.
Usage features of the hands-free function
- The hands-free function is no longer available after a few days of lack of movement of the vehicle, or after around 15 minutes if the vehicle is unlocked. To reactivate it, use the unlocking button on the RENAULT card.
- The hands-free function is only available if the vehicle is stationary and the engine is switched off (and not on standby with the Stop and start function).
- The ‘hands-free’ feature may not work if the vehicle is equipped with a towbar or is in an area of high electromagnetic radiation.
User precautions
- Before opening the tailgate, ensure that the surrounding space is sufficient to permit operation of the tailgate. Otherwise, stop the movement of the boot lid before it makes contact.
