Method 1

  1. Have a look at the factory key fob, and click the center button (see image above).
  2. You should hear a “clunk.”
  3. Move to the rear of the car. The trunk will be jarred. Pull up on the lid lightly. It should stay up from a hydraulic bar on the right.
  4. When you’re finished, pull down on the lid lightly with one hand while supporting it with the other.
  5. When the lid is a few inches from being closed, press down firmly, and the lid will clunk shut.

 

Method 2

  1. Look to the left of the steering wheel; there’s a set of buttons and knobs on a panel.
  2. Click the button with the car icon. It’s on the upper right side of the panel (see the image above).
  3. You should hear a “clunk.”
  4. Move to the rear of the car; the trunk will be jarred. Pull up on the lid lightly. It should stay up from a hydraulic bar on the right.
  5. When you’re finished, pull down lightly with one hand while supporting with the other.
  6. When the lid is a few inches from being closed, press down firmly, and the lid will clunk shut.

NOTE: The third method is entering the trunk from inside the car. Find instructions on how to do this by clicking here!
