3. Setup and Installation

The Srliya Trunk Tailgate Kick Sensor is designed for integration with vehicles that already have an electric tailgate system. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper functionality and avoid damage to your vehicle's electrical system.

General Installation Guidelines:

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle's power is off before beginning installation. Identify a suitable mounting location for the sensor module, typically near the rear bumper where foot access is convenient and clear of obstructions.
2. Mounting the Sensor Module:

   Secure the sensor module using the provided adhesive pad and/or screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and positioned correctly for optimal sensing. The sensor should be placed in an area that allows for unobstructed foot movement beneath it.
3. Wiring Connection: Connect the wiring harness to the sensor module. Carefully route the wiring to the vehicle's electric tailgate control unit, following the vehicle's wiring diagrams. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
4. Power Connection: Connect the power wires of the harness to the appropriate power source in the vehicle, typically a constant 12V supply and ground. The included fuse holder should be integrated into the power line for protection.
5. Testing: After installation, restore power to the vehicle and test the sensor's functionality. Verify that all control methods (voice, switch, foot-sensing) operate the electric tailgate correctly.

Important: Incorrect installation can lead to malfunction or damage. Consult a qualified automotive technician if you are unsure about any step of the installation process.

4. Operating Instructions

The Srliya Trunk Tailgate Kick Sensor offers three primary methods for operating your electric tailgate:

4.1. Foot-Sensing Operation

This method allows for hands-free opening and closing of the tailgate, ideal when your hands are full.

1. Ensure the vehicle is unlocked and the electric tailgate system is active.
2. Stand behind the vehicle, near the sensor's detection area (typically under the rear bumper).
3. Perform a quick, single kick motion directly under the sensor. Do not hold your foot in place. A simple forward and backward motion, similar to kicking a ball, is usually sufficient.
4. The tailgate will automatically begin to open or close. Step away from the tailgate's path to ensure safe operation.

Note: Avoid prolonged presence of your foot in the sensing area, as this may prevent activation or cause unintended behavior. The sensor is designed for a quick, deliberate kick motion.

4.2. Voice Control

If your vehicle's electric tailgate system supports voice commands and is integrated with the sensor, you can use pre-defined voice commands to operate the tailgate. Refer to your vehicle's manual for specific voice command instructions.

4.3. Switch Control

The sensor integrates with your vehicle's existing electric tailgate switch. Continue to use the interior or exterior tailgate switch as you normally would. The sensor acts as an additional input method.

5. Maintenance

The Srliya Trunk Tailgate Kick Sensor is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

• Keep Clean: Periodically inspect the sensor module and its surrounding area for dirt, debris, or ice buildup. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Check Connections: If you experience intermittent issues, check the wiring connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
• Avoid Physical Damage: Protect the sensor from direct impacts or excessive force, which could damage its internal components.
• Environmental Factors: While designed for automotive environments, extreme temperatures or prolonged exposure to water (beyond normal driving conditions) should be avoided.
