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!
