Audi A6 Typ 4G: Luggage compartment with movement-activated opening

Applies to: vehicles with convenience key and sensor-controlled luggage compartment lid

Fig. 28 Rear of the vehicle: foot movement

Requirements: you must be carrying your vehicle key with you. You must be standing at the center behind the luggage compartment lid. You should be approximately 8 in (20 cm) from the rear of the vehicle. The ignition must be switched off.

Make sure you have firm footing.

• Move your foot back and forth below the bumper fig. 28. Do not touch the bumper. Once the system recognizes the movement, the luggage compartment lid will open.

The luggage compartment lid will only open if you make the movement as described. This prevents the luggage compartment lid from opening due to similar movements, such as when you walk between the rear of the vehicle and your garage door.

General information

In some situations, the function may be limited or temporarily unavailable. This may happen if:

• the luggage compartment lid was closed immediately before.
• you park close to a hedge and the branches move back and forth under the vehicle for a long period of time.
• you clean your vehicle, for example with a pressure washer or in a car wash.
• there is heavy rain.
• the bumper is very dirty, for example after driving on salt-covered roads.
• there is interference to the radio signal from the vehicle key, such as from cell phones or remote controls.
