3. Hold the trunk lid open by inserting
the support rod into the slot.
To insert the support rod into the slot,
move it straight up. If it is moved to the
side or toward the inside of the vehicle,
it may become detached.
Before closing the trunk lid, return the
support rod to its clip—this prevents
rattles. Then lower the trunk lid and make
sure it locks into place. If necessary,
press down gently on the front edge to
lock it.
