Toyota Kick Sensor
CONVENIENCE AT YOUR FEET

With Toyota Kick Sensor, you can open your vehicle with just a wave of the foot. No more fumbling around for keys: As long as you’ve got your Smart Key on you, you can easily open the rear liftgate (and the side sliding doors on the Sienna) with your hands full.

1. Ensure your key fob is within range of the vehicle

In order for the rear door to open, the keyless entry device must be within a range of the vehicle’s sensor. However, there’s no need to remove the fob from your pocket or purse.

2. Kick your foot gently under the center of the car

Kick your foot directly under the sensor without touching the vehicle. The sensor will pick up on your movement and open the door by itself! Sienna only: To open either of the sliding side doors, find the sensor icon on the side sill and kick your foot under it.

3. Step away from the rear of the vehicle

Remain cautious of the door opening in front of you. Keep your head and limbs far enough away from the vehicle to prevent injury during this process. Also, ensure that other passengers are clear of the door before attempting to open it.

4. Repeat step two to close the door

When you’re ready to close the trunk, simply repeat step two by kicking your foot under the center of the car.
