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

  • Only light pressure on the rubberized pressure plate is necessary to release the trunk lid's locking mechanism.
  • Use the handle to lift the trunk lid and do not apply force to the rubberized pressure plate. Too much force can damage the pressure plate's electrical connections.

Hands-free opening of the trunk lid is also possible using a foot movement 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.
