Hi, I can't find a way to close the rear boot with my foot on my Macan4. The manual says it should be possible, but I can't get it to work. Can you please share your experience? Many thanks.
I have the "Porsche Entry" included of course.

EDITED:
Warning! Incoming baseless opinion alert…

I think the foot trick only works to open the rear hatch. I’ve never seen a reference to that closing it.

(see below for clarification)

The manual isn’t really clear but I think it should close using the foot gesture.

Thanks for your opinion guys! However it would be good to hear from someone who has ever managed to close the trunk by foot.

If you removed all the factually challenged opinions from this forum, it would float away due to lack of mass!

That said, I tried it and it worked. One kick-like motion, just to the right of center did the trick. I thus stand corrected and retract my baseless opinion.

I hope you get it working.

You swipe to the right to close it. Left opens, right closes. At least that's what works for me, I'll have to test more to see if that's real. It does close it, I just did it

I didn't even know you could close it that way too. Never tried

" You need to step away from the trunk (or not be too close to start with). If the car senses you standing right behind the car it won’t close as a safety precaution."

This!!! Took me a few days to figure out why it was only working intermittently.
