EASYGUARD ETO001 Foot Kick Trunk Tailgate Opener User Manual

1. Koniec produktuview

The EASYGUARD ETO001 is a foot-activated system designed to open or close your vehicle's trunk or tailgate automatically. This system enhances convenience by allowing hands-free operation, particularly useful when your hands are full.

Important Prerequisites:

• Your vehicle must be equipped with an original or aftermarket electric tailgate lift that can automatically pop up or close the trunk. This product will not function without an existing electric tailgate lift system.
• Your vehicle should have an original or aftermarket smart key Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) system. This system allows the vehicle to automatically unlock or release the trunk when you approach it. If your vehicle lacks a PKE system, you must manually disarm or unlock the vehicle before using the foot kick function.

4. Instrukcje instalacji

Zaleca się zlecenie instalacji profesjonalnemu fachowcowi. Przed rozpoczęciem instalacji należy upewnić się, że zasilanie pojazdu jest odłączone.

4.1 Control Module Placement

• The control module should be installed in a secure location, preferably within the bumper area.
• NIE stick the control module or sensing wires on any metal part or anti-collision pipe. Metal interference can significantly reduce sensing performance.
• The control module is IP67 waterproof; however, NIE open its housing.

4.2 Sensor Wire Installation

The sensing wires are crucial for detecting foot movement. Proper placement is essential for reliable operation.

Figure 7: Sensor installation guidelines and foot kick technique.

• The two sensing wires should be installed parallel to each other.
• Maintain a distance of 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) between the two sensing wires.
• The sensors should be positioned at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the ground.
• For optimal performance, ensure the sensing wires are not installed on metal parts. If your car has many metal parts in the bumper area, adjust the placement to find the best sensing effect.

Ważne uwagi dotyczące instalacji:

• The sensor detecting range is approximately 19.69 inches (50 cm). Ensure your foot is within this range when performing the kick action.
• When installing, lift your foot and kick towards the middle of the rear bumper. Your foot should be 8-15 cm from the bumper.
• Keep the sensor away from any metal parts or anti-collision pipes as far as possible to prevent interference.

5. Instrukcja obsługi

Once installed correctly, operate the ETO001 system as follows:

5.1 Otwieranie bagażnika

1. Ensure the vehicle's ACC (Accessory) power is turned off.
2. Disarm the car. If your vehicle has a smart key PKE system, the trunk will automatically unlock as you approach. If not, manually unlock the vehicle first.
3. Kick your foot under the detect sensor within 1 meter of the car's rear bumper. Perform a quick forth-and-back motion (as shown in Figure 7).
4. The trunk will automatically pop up/open.

5.2 Closing the Trunk

1. With the trunk open, perform the same foot kick action under the detect sensor.
2. The electric tailgate will automatically close. This function requires an electric tailgate lift system.

5.3 Wytyczne dotyczące użytkowania

• The foot-lifting and foot-lowering action must be completed within 1 second. Incorrect timing may be treated as a wrong signal by the system.
• After each successful foot kick, wait at least 20 seconds before performing another kick action. This prevents unintended repeated operations.
• The smart key should be within 1 meter of the car's rear bumper for the system to function correctly (if PKE is used).

6. Konserwacja

The EASYGUARD ETO001 system is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.

• Utrzymuj czujniki w czystości: Periodically inspect the sensor area under the bumper and clean off any dirt, mud, or debris that may accumulate. Excessive build-up can interfere with sensor detection.
• Unikaj uszkodzeń fizycznych: Ensure the control module and sensing wires are protected from physical impact or damage.
• Do Not Open Control Module: The control module is sealed and IP67 waterproof. Opening the housing will void the warranty and may damage the internal components.
