Just a word of warning in case, like me, you are not paying attention in multi story car parks. Came back from shopping and approaching the car, pressed remote opening of the boot only to watch it bang into an airconditioning trunking right above the car. Nice little crease in the boot lid at less than 1000 miles!
I hadn't noticed the decrease of a foot or so of headroom when parking. Just a heads up, literally!

On my current car(not got xc40 until December) I have done the same in the past. Have also accidentally opened the boot whilst sat in the car with the key in my pocket. Obviously inadvertently pressed the boot unlock button. Have come back on 2 occasions to find the boot open.. again inadvertently pressed the button in my pocket obviously.

If you press either of the buttons on the bottom edge of the boot, it will stop instantly. Saves watching it damage itself.
Another press will reverse the direction it was going. I’ve done this in areas of restricted height and saved unwanted grief.

Not long after getting mine I triggered the under car boot release when trying to connect the tow bar electrics - boot opened straight onto the bike rack
