I noticed some inconsistency in the way the automatic boot works. Manual says for opening from inside the car you need to push and hold the button until it's fully opened. This doesn't work for me - most of the time there's just a single beep and the boot won't open. If you press the button, release it after the beep and immediately press and hold it the boot will open. The problem is that sometimes when I push the button absolutely nothing happens - no beep and no action from the boot. This happens only when I try to open it, closing it works just fine. I wonder if the car is checking the rear sensors and if it decides that there's something close to the rear end it refuses to open it. What's your observation?

No problems so far. Works every time from the inside switch and and is faultless in all other ways. I'll try it with someone close to the boot and push the inside switch. Between this and lots of other glitches maybe a software update is due soon and will hopefully fix lots of issues. I've got a diagnostic check booked in two weeks so will report back on any changes/improvements.

Not many glitches with mine besides the boot button. I'm not sure the Pedestrian warning when going backwards works - I didn't hear anything with my windows rolled down while parking the car in an underground parking lot. I've also had the speed limit turned on few times and I thought that it's turning on by itself, but then I noticed that I'm actually hitting the button on the steering wheel while I'm parking.

I've never had any issues opening the boot with the interior button. I press it, hear a single beep and then it fully opens. Never had to hold the button for it to fully open either.

Opening the boot by motioning your foot under the rear bumper can be a little temperamental though.
