Default Trunk Lid

Quick question. When pressing the trunk button on the key is it supposed to open the trunk (like the door button) or just unlock it. On several occasions I have walked out to my car to find the trunk wide open - not a good thing! The only thing I could think of was that I accidently pressed the trunk button on the key - but mine doesn't open the trunk, just unlocks it.

My remote and trunk button both pop the trunk lid up. I had the same problem a few times, when I came out of my office, I found the trunk wide open. I figured out in my case, the remote in my pocket was getting activated when I sat at my desk, and the car sits right outside in the lot on the same floor just one thin wall away and I think it was getting opened accidentally. I switched the remote key to a different place and it stopped happening.

You must press and hold the button a few seconds for it to open. And, yes that can happen accidentally while it is in your pocket.

Might take some practice, but after this happened to me a couple times, I made sure that the buttons were facing my thigh when the key is put in my pocket. This way if I sat against something(chair arm, pile of bricks etc.) it wouldnt activate.
