How to Enable Trunk Close on Key Fob on Audi e-tron GE

Your Audi e-tron GE's power tailgate can open at the press of a button — but closing it requires walking back to the car. One activation enables remote closing from your key fob and one-touch interior button operation.

What Changes After Activation?

The e-tron GE's tailgate provides access to a practical cargo area. On an electric vehicle where you are often loading charging cables, shopping, or gear, being able to close the tailgate remotely is a genuine convenience.

After activation:

  • Key fob remote close — Single press from normal range closes the tailgate
  • Interior one-touch close — Works with and without the vehicle being "on" (EVs handle ignition state differently)
  • Practical for EV life — Between charging cables, adapters, and the general cargo that comes with any SUV, the e-tron's tailgate gets frequent use. Remote closing saves a trip back to the car every time.

Audi e-tron GE models from 2018 to 2021 with factory-installed electric rear lid system.
