How to activate the Volvo XC90 trunk sensor?
2 Answers
To activate the trunk sensor on the Volvo XC90, use the foot-kick sensor switch. Other methods to open the trunk include: 1. Using the trunk button: Located below the trunk, between the left and right license plate lights, lift the button upwards to open; 2. Using the key: Press the middle button on the car key to open. The Volvo XC90 has the following dimensions: length 4953mm, width 1958mm, height 1776mm, wheelbase 2984mm, minimum ground clearance 223mm, and it is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV.
When driving the XC90, I tried the trunk sensor function. To activate it, you need to access the operating system in the central control screen. Open the vehicle settings menu, find the comfort features option, and look for the 'foot-activated trunk opening' entry. Check the box to enable it and save the settings. When using it, remember to carry the car key with you, walk to the rear of the vehicle, and quickly swipe your foot under the rear bumper—don’t press too hard or linger too long—and the trunk will open automatically. This feature is very convenient, especially when shopping with your hands full. However, make sure the sensor area is clean, as dust or rainy weather may affect its performance. If it occasionally fails, try restarting the vehicle. Also, avoid using it in crowded parking spots to prevent accidental collisions or safety issues. Regularly cleaning the bumper can improve its sensitivity.
