I picked up a new to me certified preowned 2021 Cayenne GTS.
I have noticed that when I walk behind the rear of the car, it sometimes opens the rear hatch, even though I’m not touching the key, or the car.
The car is backed into my garage and I keep the keys hanging on a hook right inside the garage door so the key fob is probably within 6-8’ of the back of the car.
I am not swinging my foot underneath the tailgate to kick to open, but I am walking extremely close to the back of the car.
Is there some kind of proximity setting where the car will open the tailgate if you walk to the rear of the car? I have not dug through the manual to read up on this , but it has done it numerous times.
Thx!
