Comfort Access, boot doesn't open with foot

SamR · 02-16-2020, 09:00 AM

hi, I have a G20 with comfort access. The boot opens either by the key fob or pressing the button on the boot, but it doesn't seem to pick up me waving my foot under the back bumper. I'm not sure if this is how it should work or not?

There is a knack to it but once mastered works every time for me. Of course you may have a operational issue.....

Thanks for posting that. I just spent a few minutes trying it but nothing happened. I wonder if it's not installed on my car, do you know what the sensors look like as I couldn't see anything obvious when I looked underneath.

Stop press! I just tried again and it works. I think the instruction 'kick' your foot was key. Thanks so much for posting that reply, sometimes it's the small things that make your day

Kick don't wave, this isn't a Ford

Straight in and out, nice and quick. Right in the center of the bumper. This gets it every time for me.
