lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut
again after it is opened.
■Trunk easy closer (vehicles with
power trunk lid)
In the event that the trun k lid is left slightly
open, the trunk easy closer will automati-
cally close it to the fully closed position. It

denly shut after it opens automatically.
Make sure the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the trunk.
●In the following situations, the power
trunk lid may detect an abnormality
and automatic operation may be
stopped. In this case, the trunk lid has
to be operated manually. Take extra
care in this situat ion, as the stopped
trunk lid may suddenly shut, causing an
accident.

lid. The power trunk lid may not oper-
ate, causing itself to malfunction, or the
trunk lid may suddenly shut again after
it is opened.
