There is no setting off. The fuse must be removed. If the fuse box F3 10a on the right side of the trunk is removed, it will not work.

 

This post saved my marriage today. Thank you!

 

Is this for the full power tailgate or just the foot wave?

 

The fuse is the power of the gesture tailgate sensor. It has nothing to do with electric trunks.

 

If you can even intentionally open the boot by waving your foot, I would be impressed.

 

THIS!!!!!!!

 

I’m a kicker, not a sweeper. 80% plus success rate for me too.

 

95% for me. Don't linger - in & out quickly.

 

I do a sweep from outside to inside pretty quickly. I'd say 80% success is a good number.

I don't think I have that feature. I have had the oposeit "feature". On more than one occasion, the hatch started closing on me while leaning in the hatch (or when my dog is getting in/out). Not a good thing. If I pull away and just stand there, the hatch starts to close, often stopping half way and either trying again, or opening.

Anyone experience this?

 

Any chance that a fob is in your pocket and the close button is getting pressed by something while you lean?

It is a finicky feet-ure. I've walked by mine and the hatch opened. Other times I've really wanted to give it a swift kick in rear to get it to work. Same behavior on my Range Rover.

If find a straight in-out of a shallow gesture works best right behind the mud flaps most of the time. If you don't have mud flaps, just imagine them there the next time you take aim.

 

I was careful with the FOB and don't think it is the issue. I have FOB issues in general as they don't work for the door buttons or rear hatch most of the time unless I am presenting the FOB to the glass. Been in more than once for it and has yet to be resolved.

 

I have to put my electric key on the other side of the garage when I am washing the car. The water spray will cause my hatch to open with the key in my pocket.

 

My spaniel has no trouble activating the tailgate, 100% success rate. Have been hit on the head by the tailgate whilst unloading things at least 5 times now. Absolute nonsense that it cant be disabled in system configuration. That fuse is coming out!
