• Press and hold the trunk release button on your remote key or smart key for more than 1 second.
• In addition, for vehicles equipped with a smart key:
  -- When all doors are unlocked, press the trunk switch to open the trunk with or without the smart key in your possession.
  -- If any door is locked or all doors are locked, the switch can still be used to open the trunk while the smart key is with you.

-- Use the trunk opener lever.

Closing the Trunk

Lower the trunk lid and press until it locks. To make sure the trunk lid is securely latched, always check by trying to pull it up again.

WARNING

Always keep the trunk lid fully closed while driving. If it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust gases containing carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the vehicle and can cause serious injury or death.

Information

To avoid damage to the trunk lid lift cylinders and attachments, always close the trunk before driving.
