Where is the trunk sensor location on the Discovery Sport?

Discovery Sport trunk sensor location is at the bottom of the bumper. Trunk usage: The trunk space is highly flexible, with foldable third and second rows. Due to the suspended spare tire design, the trunk floor height is relatively low and has no threshold, making it convenient for transporting large luggage. Design concept: The Discovery Sport adopts Land Rover's new design language, featuring a classic double horizontal bar grille at the front, dynamic headlight clusters with LED light sources, and a rugged front bumper design with LED daytime running lights on both sides. In terms of exterior and interior design, the new Land Rover Discovery Sport inherits the Discovery family's design DNA while incorporating innovative elements, resulting in a more dynamic exterior and more luxurious interior.
Regarding the tailgate sensor location on the Discovery Sport, I've paid special attention to the details as it directly impacts daily convenience. The sensor is positioned at the exact center beneath the rear bumper, approximately right below the license plate where there's a small sensor area. When approaching with the key, simply sweep your foot quickly underneath (avoid kicking forcefully – a gentle pass suffices) to trigger the automatic power tailgate. The system is quite responsive. For first-time users, I recommend crouching slightly to clearly identify the spot to avoid mistakenly targeting the bumper sides or wheel arches. The placement proves practical in real-world use, preventing road debris interference, though rain or mud may occasionally obscure the sensor – hence I maintain regular cleaning. This thoughtful design enhances heavy-load handling by enabling hands-free operation, which has consistently worked flawlessly during my delivery runs. Land Rover has ingeniously balanced security and practicality here, making it exceptionally useful for outdoor enthusiasts. Just remember to monitor key fob battery levels and avoid strong magnetic fields to prevent signal disruption.
