Lift gate power assist button

I have a problem with my smax boot I want to know does the cat have to be running for the power assist button to work as my boot doesn’t close when the car is off

So I assume it closes OK if the engine is on ?

It should work with out the need for the engine or the ignition to be on. On some models the button has to be twice (for safety) before the power close works

The button inside the car won’t work if the engine is running. If your are outside, the fob will open and close the boot and the button on the boot will also close it. You have to double press the fob for both operations. The leg swipe to open close will also work with engine on or off. If you are standing too close to the car, when at the boot, the safety feature will kick in and prevent any operations from the boot.
