How to use the smart trunk

The hands-free smart trunk system can be opened automatically when the following conditions are met:

  • The smart trunk option is enabled from the Settings menu in the infotainment system.

  • The smart trunk is activated and ready 15 seconds after all the doors are closed and locked

  • The smart trunk will open when the smart key is detected in the area behind the vehicle for 3 seconds

The smart trunk will NOT operate when:

  • Any door is open, or all doors are closed but not locked

  • The smart key is detected within 15 seconds from when the doors were closed and locked

  • For vehicles equipped with illuminated exterior front door handles, if the smart key is detected within 15 seconds from when the doors were closed and locked or if the smart key is within 60 in. (1.5 m) from the front door handles

  • The smart key is in the vehicle.

  1. Settings

    To use smart trunk, it must be enabled from the Settings menu in the infotainment system. Select:

    • Setup > Vehicle > Door > Smart Trunk

    The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information, refer to the infotainment system manual.

  2. Detect and Alert

    The smart trunk detecting area extends about 20-40 in. (50-100 cm) behind the vehicle. If you are positioned in the detecting area and are carrying the smart key, the hazard warning lights will blink and the chime will sound to alert you that the smart trunk will open.

    Do not approach the detecting area if you do not want the trunk to open. If you have unintentionally entered the detecting area and the hazard warning lights and chime starts to operate, move away from the area behind the vehicle with the smart key. The trunk will remain closed.

  3. Automatic opening

    After the hazard warning lights blink and the chime sounds 6 times, the smart trunk will open.
