Note: You can reverse the decklid
movement. Press the instrument panel or
decklid button again, or press the remote
control button twice.
The decklid only operates with the
transmission in park (P).
If the decklid starts to close after it has fully
opened, this indicates there may be
excessive weight on the decklid or a possible
strut failure. A repetitive tone sounds and
the decklid closes under control. Remove
any excessive weight from the decklid. If the
decklid continues to close after opening,
have the system checked by an authorized
dealer.
