To facilitate trunk loading and unload-
ing when the hardtop is retracted, you
can raise the hardtop from its storage
position in the trunk using the loading
aid feature (
page 221). You may also
unhook the luggage cover.
Remember to resecure the luggage
cover after loading/unloading the
trunk. Otherwise you will not be able to
lower the retractable hardtop.
If the vehicle was previously centrally
locked, the trunk lid will lock automati-
cally when closed (
page 102). The
turn signals will flash three times to
confirm locking.
