What Does a Sensor-Operated Trunk Mean?
1 Answers
A sensor-operated trunk means that when opening the trunk, there's no need to use your hands. Simply sweep your foot under the rear bumper where the sensor is located, and the trunk will open automatically. The operation to close the trunk is the same as opening it. Conditions for use: the key must be within the control range; lift or sweep your foot under the bumper's sensor area; the control unit will release the trunk lid. The sensor in a sensor-operated trunk is a device that receives signals or stimuli and responds, converting the measured physical or chemical quantity into another corresponding output. It is used in automation control, security equipment, etc. A trunk equipped with a sensor is very convenient. When your hands are full, simply sweep your foot under the sensor to easily open the trunk. Methods to open a car trunk: Mechanical Key Opening: Insert the key into the tailgate lock to open or close it. This method dates back to the era of mechanical keys when car tailgates were first introduced. It now seems quite cumbersome and has largely been phased out. Remote Key Opening: Using a remote key to open the car trunk is the most direct and simplest method. It's straightforward—just press the trunk opening button on the remote. Smart Key + Trunk Switch: For models equipped with a smart key, as long as the remote key is within a certain range (usually about 1 meter), pressing the switch on the trunk will directly open it. In-Car Opening Button: The button's location varies depending on the manufacturer and model, but generally, it's either on the left side of the steering wheel or in the central control area. Moreover, the same manufacturer's cars usually have the trunk button in the same position. Lever-Type Switch: Some models don't have a button for the trunk but a lever. This type of lever is usually located on the lower left side of the driver's seat or the steering wheel, marked with an icon of a raised car trunk. It's often placed together with the fuel tank cap lever. Precautions when using a sensor-operated trunk: Ensure the remote key is carried with you, the battery is sufficiently charged, and perform a light kicking motion under the sensor on the left side of the rear bumper. If this function is operated too frequently, it may enter a protection mode and will require some time to recover. If the sensor is affected by snow, ice, or dirt, the function may not work properly. Therefore, keep the sensor clean. Closing the trunk with this function does not mean the vehicle is locked. To lock the vehicle, press the lock button on the key.
