Condition
Customer States:
• Rear lid opens/closes automatically when contact is made with the surface of the parking aid sender.
Technical Background
When contact is made with the parking aid senders, which are being supplied with current, a capacitive change
can be triggered which manifests itself in the wiring as a change in potential. Because the wires for the parking
aid and gesture-controlled rear lid are partly routed together, this change in potential can couple directly into the
ground wire of the gesture-controlled rear lid.
As the operating principle of the gesture-controlled rear lid is based on the recognition of changes in a capacitive
field (change in potential), these signals fed in via the ground wire may be recognized as a kicking movement and
open the rear lid if an authorized vehicle key is in the vicinity of the vehicle.
To prevent unintentional opening/closing of the rear lid, contact with the parking sensors should be avoided
and/or the vehicle key should be kept outside the range of the keyless system in relevant situations (e.g., car
wash).
Production Solution
Not applicable.
Service
Try to reproduce the customer complaint (based on the description/cause of the issue), so that it can be clearly
assigned to this TSB.
Explain to the customer if the key is within range of the vehicle and the parking aid sensor is touched, this may
result in the trunk lid opening or closing. This is normal and no repairs are needed.
There is no reason to replace parts or attempt repairs.
