Power decklid
 WARNING: Make sure all persons are clear of the power decklid area before using the power decklid control. WARNING: Keep keys out of the reach of children. Do not allow children to operate or play near an open or moving power decklid. You should supervise the operation of the power decklid at all times. |
Note: Do not drive with the decklid open unless you switch off the power feature. Make sure the decklid is fully closed before you drive your vehicle.
You can switch the power decklid feature on or off in the information display. See General Information. The remote control and instrument panel button will still operate the decklid regardless of the setting.

The decklid will only operate with the transmission in park (P).
If the decklid reverses or starts to close after an open request, you will hear a fast continuous chime. This indicates excessive load on the decklid or a possible gas strut failure. If the decklid continues to close after opening, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.
