Hey everyone, just taken delivery of the new j12 2022 Tekna. However the hand free tail gate opening only works like 1 out of 10 times.
It all works fine from the key fobs just not the hands free foot option.
Is this normal and just a rubbish option??
Cheers

Either a warranty claim or practice with the foot.
When I went to the Arriya launch even the presenter had problems at times getting it to actuate

Sorry, I can’t help - it’s so hit and miss that I’ve stopped trying to get it to work.

AS far as i've heard you need to make a kicking motion with your foot around the middle of the bumper. Not a sideswipe, if you move from left to right of right to left, it will not detect it as consistently as a kick would.
So try a back to front kick and see if that improves your opening and closing.

Kick motion under the bumper at middle line of car works for me every time. Very handy when hands are full of stuff for the boot.

Good to see it works for you MikeGC.
I also was clearly doing it wrong in the beginning, you learn every day
