Hatch/Trunk Lid Release
There are several ways to release the hatch/trunk lid. If
your vehicle has an automatic transmission, the shift
lever must be in PARK (P). For manual transmission
vehicles, the parking brake must be set when the ignition
is started for the hatch/trunk release to operate. The
parking brake does not need to be set when the ignition
is off for the hatch/trunk release to operate. See
Parking Brake on page 2-34.
V (Hatch/Trunk): Press the hatch/trunk lid
release button, located on the instrument panel
to the left of the steering wheel. The theft-deterrent
alarm system must not be armed.
} (Hatch/Trunk): Press the hatch/trunk lid
release button on the keyless access transmitter.
See Keyless Access System on page 2-4.
Press the hatch/trunk release button located on the
rear of the hatch/trunk lid above the license plate,
as long as you have your transmitter with you.
If your vehicle has lost battery power, open the
hatch/trunk using the vehicle key. See Keys on page 2-3
for more information. The key lock cylinder is located
on the rear of the hatch/trunk lid above the license plate.
Turn the vehicle key clockwise in the lock.
Closing the Rear Compartment (Coupe)
To assist in closing the rear compartment lid of
your coupe, use the pocket on the underside of the lid
on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. When closing the
lid, lower it until the power pull down latch feature
activates and it will close the rest of the way and latch
automatically.
