When its key comes within a couple of yards of the vehicle, the signal ‘asks’ the electronic key or key card for an electronic password and the key gives it. ! b* X0 H3 d* D!

Once the car has recognised its key, all a motorist has to do is approach the boot with bags in hand, extend a foot as if making a gentle kick so that the shoe goes under the bumper, and hey presto, the boot opens.www2.tvboxnow.com+ T$ {, J8 R3 w$ d$ d4 e& l; e1 L

The same applies in reverse for lifting bags or bulky objects out of the boot. A quick kick under the bumper and the boot closes. The system is called the ‘kick-activated automatic tailgate’, and Ford revealed it perfected the system with the help of volunteer ‘kickers’ over six months of testing. The system safeguards against accidental opening by being programmed to open only with leg motions but not when an animal runs under the car or when the vehicle hits a bump on the road.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb6 h3 k, B1 X* f' a$ |: H

It has been re-worked for Britain and Europe to ensure it still works if a tow bar has been fitted, as this is an option frequently chosen by Kuga drivers on this side of the Atlantic. A spokesman said it would solve a common problem, adding: ‘It might be pouring down with rain and all you want to do is stow the shopping quickly and get into the vehicle. It’s a scenario faced by consumers up and down the country.’TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。' V/ c, R$ k4 J! j9 G$ j0 O$ M, A4 m4 @
