  • A locked liftgate/boot lid can also be opened while the key is being carried.

  • When opening the liftgate/boot lid with the doors and the liftgate/boot lid locked, it may require a few seconds for the liftgate/boot lid latch to release after the electric liftgate/boot lid opener is pressed.

  • The liftgate/boot lid can be closed when the doors are locked with the key left in the vehicle. However, to prevent locking the key in the vehicle, the liftgate/boot lid can be opened by pressing the electric liftgate/boot lid opener.

    To close

    To close the liftgate from its slightly raised position, open it first by pressing the electric liftgate opener, then close it after waiting at least 1 second.

  • If the liftgate is not fully closed, the driver is notified by a warning indicated in the instrument cluster.

  • If the vehicle battery is dead or there is a malfunction in the electrical system and the liftgate/boot lid cannot be unlocked, the liftgate/boot lid can be opened by performing the emergency procedure.
