Keyless trunk lid unlock*
The trunk lid can be opened using the remote key. The key only needs to be within range, e.g. in a pocket or bag.
The trunk lid is held closed by an electronic locking mechanism.
To open the tailgate:
Lightly press the rubberized pressure plate on the underside of the trunk lid handle.
The lock will disengage.
Note
One of the vehicle's remote keys must be within range behind the vehicle for unlocking to be possible.
Lift the outer handle to fully open the tailgate.
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.
