If the trunk lid will not open or close
Check if the trunk lid is being blocked by an object.
The trunk lid can be moved by hand. It is necessary to use more force when doing this.
If the trunk lid is operated too frequently within a short period of time, then the lid motor will automatically switch off to reduce the risk of overheating. Until the l
motor has cooled down, the trunk lid can be opened and closed by hand using extra force.
When in trailer mode, the power trunk lid can only be opened and closed at the trunk lid.
