Virtual pedal boot opening location

[MartiG]

Good evening,
I have most probably very stupid question but ...
Where is the sensor for "virtual pedal" for the boot opening? I have MG HS Phev 2025 from today and can't open by foot. The option is activated in the system. Is it possible they remove the sensor during the installation of my towing hook?

Should be somewhere in the middle. I didnt get it to work the 1st few times i got the car. Wiggling left and right dont work. I should be like a kicking motion. it took me a bit of practice

I tried quite long time with no success. But I kick a bit on the right or left of the middle as I have towing hook that is not removable, do you think it may be the case that this mess with the sensor? Soon it will be changed to removable and I will be able to try. Only hope that the sensor ot wathever is there is not removed during the installation of the hook ...

It was very hit and miss when I tested it when I picked up my car, so I have just tended to use the key instead. However I did a few tests today and I found it needs to be a rapid kick (in and out quickly). I was kicking directly central along the width, and I probably kicked deep enough so my entire foot was underneath the car. I probably had. 50-50 success rate. If it works, then there is a brief delay before it starts rising, and a small extra delay before the beep, so it is not quickly obvious that it was successful.
So I'm sticking to my key unless it's an absolute emergency!

I will Kick a bit more tomorrow. I can't kick exact in the middle as there is the towing hook. I am waiting to replace it with removable one so then I will be able to test with nothing. I see in a research in internet that is possible the hook do disterb the sensor so that's why it is not working for me
