Trunk Lid Automatic Pull-Down Feature
1
A
CAUTION:
Your
car
may have
an
automatic pull-down
feature that helps close the trunk electronically.
Your fingers can be trapped under the trunk lid
as it goes down. Your fingers could be injured,
and you would need someone to help you free
them. Keep your fingers away from the trunk lid
as you close it and as it is going down.

B
With the automatic pull-down feature, you never have to
slam the trunk lid in order to close the trunk. Instead,
gently lower the trunk lid until it is nearly shut
--
the
automatic pull-down unit will take over and lock the
trunk firmly.
A. Trunk Lid
B. Lever
If for some reason the trunk lid (A) will not close, it may
be because the trunk pull-down unit was accidently
bumped. Even though the trunk lid remains open, the
motor from the pull-down unit has already cycled down.
If this happens, press the lever (B) on the trunk lid. The
pull-down unit motor will reset itself allowing the trunk
lid to close when lowered.
