foot movement similar to the opening one
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proximi-
ty of the rear lid).
The Easy Open feature is not available or on-

uations (examples):
●
If the rear bumper is very dirty.
●
If the rear bumper is wet with salt water, e.g.
after having driven on gritted roads.
●
If the electrical unlocking tow hitch is not
covered.
●
If the vehicle has been equipped at a later
time with a tow bracket.
In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-
ture may take a little longer to open the boot
