How to Use the 2021 Elantra Smart Trunk?
2 Answers
2021 Elantra Smart Trunk usage instructions are as follows: 1. The Smart Trunk is equipped with sensors underneath that allow for hands-free opening or closing. Simply wave your foot under the sensor area to open the trunk. 2. The Smart Trunk features intelligent anti-pinch protection: During closing, sensors detect obstacles. If contact occurs during opening/closing, the trunk automatically reverses direction to prevent injuries (especially to children) or vehicle damage. 3. This system significantly improves convenience for owners carrying items with both hands during loading/unloading.
I remember when I first bought my 2021 Elantra, the hands-free trunk was one of my favorite features. It's quite simple to use: just approach the rear of the car with the key fob, quickly swipe your foot under the rear bumper area, and upon hearing a click, the trunk automatically opens. It's especially convenient when you're carrying bags of groceries or other items, eliminating the need to free up a hand to press the key button. However, there are a few details to note: the key must be within the detection range, and it's best not to place it near metal boxes or other interfering objects. The first time I tried it, my movement wasn't swift enough, and after several attempts with no response, I realized the foot motion needs to be decisive—no slow movements. If it stops working, it might be due to a weak key fob battery or dirty sensors, so it's advisable to check these every six months. This feature truly makes urban living easier, and I often recommend it to friends.
