Disable boot kick possible?
I don't like the auto boot / kick / foot facility. It only seems to work when I don't want it to. On Sunday my son was sat in the boot putting his wellies on when a friend walked up and one of them set the sensor off. I pulled my son to the ground as the lid came down.
Anyone know of a way to disable this function? I hope there is a circuit breaker, that would be easiest, but often a pulling a breaker can impact more than one system. Any ideas?

Actually I discovered a fuse diagram in the manual, fuse 15 in the cargo area should be the one to pull.
Has anyone tried it? Thanks.

Note that it will only work if the key is detected within proximity, so I usually just pop the key in the front of the car when I'm doing things like this. Also when electric boot lid is operating, it doesn't take a lot of force to stop it, simply place your hand under it as it is coming down and apply a bit of upward pressure. I wish Volvo provided a facility to suggest and vote on product enhancements. :wq

I too would love a simple tile on the sensus screen which should be simple to program to disable the autokick..

What about masking the sensor off with tape?

It's quite normal for control and power circuits to be separate.

I love powered tailgates and have it on my Honda CRV as well as the new XC90. Love the global locking feature on the Volvo tailgate, but the Honda does have a lock button that has to be pressed after the tailgate closes, which is a close second best. Also love the gesture opening and closing on the Volvo and can't imagine why I would want to disable it. So far I've found it to work very well indeed and I use it maybe half the time. Only pressed the tailgate button a couple of times to open and otherwise use the dash button to open and gesture or tailgate buttons to close, as appropriate. Love the speed that this tailgate works too. Its about 50% faster than the Honda.

Will certainly look out for errant opening, now that you have made me aware of the possibility. |
