Trunk Lock And Release

Use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

Use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to open the trunk from outside the vehicle. From inside the vehicle the trunk lid can be released by pressing the TRUNK RELEASE button located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.

NOTE:
The shift lever must be in PARK for this button to operate.

To unlatch the trunk lid from outside the vehicle, press and release the TRUNK button on the RKE transmitter two times.

With the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, the word “dECK ” will display in place of the odometer display indicating that the trunk is open. The odometer display will reappear once the trunk is closed or if the trip button is depressed.

With the ignition switch in the LOCK position or with the key out, the word “dECK” will display until the trunk is closed.

On EVIC-equipped vehicles, the words “Trunk Ajar” will display.
