Description and Operation: Description: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Kia K900. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Power Trunk System automatically opens and closes the trunk lid and cinches the latch with a press of a button on an interior switch (door trim switch, trunk inner push button switch and trunk lid outside handle) or a remote keyless entry device. Power Trunk Module (PTM) determines whether or not the trunk is open by transmitting vehicle status information from body electrical ECU via CAN communication and performs self-diagnostic function.
In case of detecting obstacle during operation, the safety function will reverse the operation. Also, in case power operation is disabled due to discharged battery or malfunctioning ECU, by person operation is possible by unlocking the low latch with a mechanical key.
