Tailgate kick censor

[Richard1200]

Even my dealer unsure, should my 2023 UX Takumi have a kick censor to open the boot?

Would Have Thought Richard Your Car Manual If You Have one Or Downloaded version on the Internet Would Tell You If This function is available on your car  Just a Thought..!!!

The manual says (if equipped)?

Have you tried it to see if it works?

• With the car locked and the key in your trouser pocket.
• Walk up to the rear of the car, kick your leg under the middle of the rear bumper for half a second and withdraw your leg, but don't kick
• Step back (this is important).
• Say "Open Sesame"
• If so equipped then the car should beep and open the tailgate.
• (Saying Open Sesame is optional)

Mine has it but is a pre facelift model.

I masted the knack on my 2019 UX, was told it was not fitted on my 2021 Takumi UX so never tried it but cannot get a bleeping thing on this one.

I know on the pre-facelift model there is an option to enable/disable it in the settings menu as I found this when I took a Takumi out for a test drive a while back and couldn't get it to work.  Like others have said, I too have heard that it was removed in later model, not sure why as it's a great feature if you have your hands full.

They’ve taken it off the latest version (with black badges).  I don’t believe they’re cheaping out on this, I suspect it isn’t compatible with the safety systems.   It’s an old wired system rather than the newer rigid antenna.

Thanks to have a definitive answer. Thanks again. 👍
