To open the rear boot of this car model from the driver's seat, use the button located just in front of the gear lever or the one on the remote key. Pressing the button signals the electric lock to open, allowing you to lift the tailgate. In the sportwagon version, it is also possible to open just the heated rear window, which is handy for placing or retrieving something small.

This function is activated only via the button on the remote key.
