I've been trying to find it too. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I noticed the driver side works more often than the passenger side.
I cannot say precisely, but go in about 6 inches on either rear corner of the car.OK, where exactly is the sensor located for the foot gesture. I swing it back and forth and eventually it will detect my foot but I dont know exactly where it is.
Does anyone know where it is?
I literally just tried what you said and it worked 100% of the time after a few tries on each side. Thanks for the tip.The gesture tailgate is the one feature that I can always get to work.
This is how I trained others in the family:
Think of the rear corners of the vehicle as square.
Use a slow kicking motion from the midpoint of the corner toward the center of the vehicle.
Thanks, but can you clarify "the midpoint of the corner"? The corner of the car IS a point, and so it does not really have a midpoint. I also am not seeing your 'square' - how is it helpful to consider the rear corners to be 'square'? Is there an imaginary square you are describing here? Where is the square, how big is it? Sorry, maybe this is hard to explain without a picture...The gesture tailgate is the one feature that I can always get to work.

That explains it. It's a British car after all. Kick it like a soccer ball (uh, I mean football)! Score every time!!I will say it again although it would appear to be a bit off from the 'official' position. Very easy to be consistent from the rear of the car:
I use a kick motion. Foot directly under and back out. No side to side.
I kick directly below the vertical gap between the liftgate and fender. Works every time now.
