Keyless unlocking of the trunk lid*
With keyless locking and unlocking, the trunk can be unlocked by lightly touching the rubberized button on the trunk lid handle.
Note
One of the vehicle's keys must be within range behind the vehicle for unlocking to be possible.
The trunk lid is held closed by an electronic locking mechanism.
To open:
Lightly press the rubberized pressure plate on the underside of the trunk lid handle.
The lock will disengage.
Lift the outer handle to open the trunk lid.
Important
- Handle the rubber plate carefully to help prevent damage to its electrical connections. Very little force is needed for activation.
- Use the handle to lift – do not apply force to the rubberized pressure plate.
Hands-free opening of the trunk lid is also possible by making a kicking motion under the rear bumper; see the separate section.
Warning
Do not drive with the trunk lid open. Toxic exhaust fumes can be sucked into the vehicle through the trunk.
