Default Auto Boot Open - via key

An observation- I bent over to pick something up, my keys must have pressed together in my pocket and the boot started to open, I quickly pressed the button again, the boot paused and went back down, cool!

I must have caught it before it went beyond the point of no return. Handy if you want to throw something in quickly! Anyone noticed this ..... ‘function’?

It is a shame it isn’t remote power close as well isn’t it.

I modified mine a few weeks ago to close with the remote. It's a great feature to have when you need it.

If your hands are full carrying stuff out of the car, hit the button. If you're stopped at security on the way out of a building and they want to check your trunk, it opens and closes from the button in the driver door. Or, if you want to have some fun, you can make the boot breakdance!
