Hatch/Trunk Closing (Coupe)
Closing the hatch/trunk
forcefully or from the sides can
cause damage to the glass, the
defogger or the weather stripping.
Be sure objects will fit in the
hatch/trunk area before closing
the hatch/trunk. When closing the
hatch/trunk, gently pull down
from the center.
Do not store heavy or
sharp objects in the rear storage
compartments located in the
hatch/trunk area. The objects
could damage the underbody.
Pull down from the center of the
hatch/trunk, closing it with light force
until the power latch feature
activates. The hatch/trunk will close
the rest of the way and latch
automatically.
