Luggage Compartment Description and Operation Sedan
Rear Compartment Lid Release
The rear compartment lid can be released in one of three ways:
| • | Inserting the key into the key lock cylinder, if equipped |
| • | Operating the rear compartment lid release switch |
| • | Using the keyless entry fob |
To operate rear compartment lid with the rear compartment lid release switch or with the rear compartment release button on the key fob, the gear selector may be in any position, but vehicle speed must equal 0 for the rear compartment lid to release.
When the rear compartment lid release switch is pushed, the rear compartment lid release signal circuit to the body control module (BCM) is grounded. BCM then grounds the coil side of the trunk release relay through the trunk release relay control circuit. With this voltage is applied to the rear compartment lid release actuator, opening the rear compartment.
