WARNING: Keep keys out of the
reach of children. Do not allow children to

Note: Do not drive with the decklid open
unless you switch off the power feature.
Make sure you fully close the decklid before
you drive your vehicle.
You can switch the power decklid feature on
or off in the information display. See
General
Information (page 112). The remote control
and instrument panel button still operates

damage the power decklid and its
components.

• Pressing the remote control button twice.
• Pressing the button on the instrument
panel.

Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. A tone sounds and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the decklid.
Note: Entering your vehicle while the decklid
is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power decklid close completely
before you enter your vehicle. Before driving
your vehicle, check the instrument cluster
for a trunk ajar or door ajar message or
warning indicator. Failure to do this could
result in unintentionally leaving the decklid
open while driving. When Opening
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and a tone sounds. Once you
remove the obstacle, you can continue to
operate the decklid.

The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft
(1 m)
of the decklid.
