Dodge Charger: TRUNK / Opening And Closing The Trunk

Opening The Trunk

The trunk may be opened in several ways:

• Power trunk release button on the instru- ment panel
• Trunk button on the key fob
• Trunk Passive Entry button
• External release switch located on the under- side of the decklid overhang

NOTE:

The release feature will function only when the vehicle is unlocked.

With the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the trunk open symbol will display in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open. The odometer display will reappear once the trunk is closed.

With the ignition in the OFF position, the trunk open symbol will display until the trunk is closed.

Power Trunk Release Button

The trunk can be opened from inside the vehicle using the power trunk release button located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.

NOTE:

The transmission must be in PARK before the button will operate.

Key Fob Trunk Release Button

Push the power trunk button on the key fob twice within five seconds to release the trunk.

Passive Entry Button

Push the trunk passive entry button which is located on the right side of the trunk lid. With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the trunk, push the passive entry button to open the trunk.

Closing The Trunk

With one or more hands placed on the outside trunk surface push the trunk lid down until you hear the trunk lock latch into place.

NOTE:

Before closing the trunk lid, make sure your key fob is not inside the trunk area. The trunk will latch then automatically unlock if the key fob is sensed, not allowing the key fob to be locked in the trunk area.
