EASYGUARD ETO001 Foot Kick Trunk Tailgate Opener User Manual

1. 제품 오버view

The EASYGUARD ETO001 is a foot-activated system designed to open or close your vehicle's trunk or tailgate automatically. This system enhances convenience by allowing hands-free operation, particularly useful when your hands are full.

Important Prerequisites:

Your vehicle must be equipped with an original or aftermarket electric tailgate lift that can automatically pop up or close the trunk. This product will not function without an existing electric tailgate lift system.
Your vehicle should have an original or aftermarket smart key Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) system. This system allows the vehicle to automatically unlock or release the trunk when you approach it. If your vehicle lacks a PKE system, you must manually disarm or unlock the vehicle before using the foot kick function.

2. 호환성

The ETO001 system is designed for DC12V vehicles, including sedans, compact cars, SUVs, and MPVs. It is not compatible with DC24V vehicles.

Refer to the compatibility chart below to ensure your vehicle meets the necessary requirements for proper function.

Compatibility chart showing vehicle types (SUV, hatch-back, MPV, Sedan, compact) are compatible. It also details compatibility based on electric tailgate and PKE system presence.

Figure 2: Compatibility requirements for the ETO001 system.

차량 유형: SUV, Hatchback, MPV, Sedan, Compact (Compatible)
With Electric Tailgate + PKE: Approach & kick to pop up/close trunk (Compatible)
With Electric Tailgate but no PKE: Disarm/unlock first, then kick to pop up/close trunk (Compatible)
No Electric Tailgate: Cannot kick to pop up/close trunk (Not Compatible)

전문가의 설치를 권장합니다. 설치를 시작하기 전에 차량의 전원을 차단하세요.

4.1 Control Module Placement

The control module should be installed in a secure location, preferably within the bumper area.
하지 마세요 stick the control module or sensing wires on any metal part or anti-collision pipe. Metal interference can significantly reduce sensing performance.
The control module is IP67 waterproof; however, 하지 마세요 open its housing.

4.2 Sensor Wire Installation

The sensing wires are crucial for detecting foot movement. Proper placement is essential for reliable operation.

Diagram showing two sensors installed parallel, 4-6 inches apart, at least 2 inches from the ground, under the bumper. It also illustrates correct and incorrect foot kicking motions.

Figure 7: Sensor installation guidelines and foot kick technique.

The two sensing wires should be installed parallel to each other.
Maintain a distance of 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) between the two sensing wires.
The sensors should be positioned at least 2 inches (5 cm) from the ground.
For optimal performance, ensure the sensing wires are not installed on metal parts. If your car has many metal parts in the bumper area, adjust the placement to find the best sensing effect.

중요 설치 참고 사항:

The sensor detecting range is approximately 19.69 inches (50 cm). Ensure your foot is within this range when performing the kick action.
When installing, lift your foot and kick towards the middle of the rear bumper. Your foot should be 8-15 cm from the bumper.
Keep the sensor away from any metal parts or anti-collision pipes as far as possible to prevent interference.

5. 사용 설명서

Once installed correctly, operate the ETO001 system as follows:

5.1 Opening the Trunk

Ensure the vehicle's ACC (Accessory) power is turned off.
Disarm the car. If your vehicle has a smart key PKE system, the trunk will automatically unlock as you approach. If not, manually unlock the vehicle first.
Kick your foot under the detect sensor within 1 meter of the car's rear bumper. Perform a quick forth-and-back motion (as shown in Figure 7).
The trunk will automatically pop up/open.

5.2 Closing the Trunk

With the trunk open, perform the same foot kick action under the detect sensor.
The electric tailgate will automatically close. This function requires an electric tailgate lift system.

5.3 사용 지침

The foot-lifting and foot-lowering action must be completed within 1 second. Incorrect timing may be treated as a wrong signal by the system.
After each successful foot kick, wait at least 20 seconds before performing another kick action. This prevents unintended repeated operations.
The smart key should be within 1 meter of the car's rear bumper for the system to function correctly (if PKE is used).

6. 유지관리

The EASYGUARD ETO001 system is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.

센서를 깨끗하게 유지하세요: Periodically inspect the sensor area under the bumper and clean off any dirt, mud, or debris that may accumulate. Excessive build-up can interfere with sensor detection.
물리적 손상 방지: Ensure the control module and sensing wires are protected from physical impact or damage.
Do Not Open Control Module: The control module is sealed and IP67 waterproof. Opening the housing will void the warranty and may damage the internal components.

7. 문제 해결

If you experience issues with your ETO001 system, refer to the following troubleshooting guide:

문제	가능한 원인	해결책
Trunk does not open/close with foot kick.	Vehicle lacks electric tailgate lift. Vehicle not disarmed/unlocked (no PKE or PKE out of range). Incorrect foot kick motion or timing. Sensors obstructed or improperly installed. Too soon after previous kick.	Verify vehicle has electric tailgate lift. Ensure vehicle is disarmed/unlocked. If PKE, ensure smart key is within 1 meter. Perform a quick forth-and-back kick within 1 second. Check sensor placement (not on metal, 4-6 inches apart, >2 inches from ground). Clean sensors. Wait at least 20 seconds between kick attempts.
Trunk opens/closes unintentionally.	Sensor sensitivity too high or improper placement. Interference from metal objects or other vehicle systems.	Re-evaluate sensor placement, ensuring it's not too close to the ground or metal parts. Ensure control module and sensing wires are not stuck on metal parts or anti-collision pipes.
System not responding at all.	전원 연결 문제. 결함이 있는 구성 요소입니다.	Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure and correctly installed. Contact customer support if all other troubleshooting steps fail.
