Anyone had this?
 

I was changing the brightness of the dash lights and my finger just brushed against the boot open button as I'm driving up to a red light...

had to pull over and close the boot again.

(trunk for you US folk)

That's the ONLY thing I don't like that much about it - hardly a thing, just found the button so sensitive in a spot that is hard to see and right next to something else you might want to adjust....

Ironically, my boot [trunk] release takes a couple second delay to actually work. But let see others' boot button is that sensitive.

And thanks, learned a new word :)

I haven't noticed that. However it is not something I would be concerned about because once I have adjusted my instrument lights, which I have already done, I never change that setting. I won't be going back to that area of the dash again unless I'm reaching for the boot button.

trunk release delay
 

Actually, it's something that can be programmed by the dealer. I hate having to wait 2 seconds to open it on my key, so in the manual it says you can have the dealer set it so it opens on first touch. I guess it's a safety issue so it's not always opening by accident while in your pocket. Same goes for the dash button. It's programmed the same as the key. I'm also going to have them set the loudness of the beep to maximum when you hit the lock button on the key. Sometimes, I can barely hear it!

My boot also only opens after I keep the button down for at least 2 seconds.
It's kinda annoying. I want it to open immediately. I use the boot eveyday, at least twice a day.
So it's programmable by the dealer you say.
Thanx

I've had bags get stuck on the emergency pull open for the trunk and open the trunk on me...

Kinda scary.

Mine also takes a few seconds

There are two 'boot access buttons' being discussed here. The OP has a concern about the dash button being too sensitive, while others are talking about the key fob button seems to take a second or two to release... Back to your post, nothing to see here.

I wonder if there's different programming for the dash boot/trunk release button, the OP is in Australia, but the US folk (and one from South Africa) that has posted so far have the 2 second delay. I actually thought something was wrong with my trunk button when I first picked up the car (didn't have a chance to peruse the owner's manual yet) and then realized I have to push and hold it for 2 seconds. It's about 2-3 seconds on my key fob as well. Might be worth a call to the dealer about some re-programming to see if it effects just the fob or the dash button as well.

My dash button has a 2 second delay or so, as does my key fob. Both are kinda annoying, but i've learned to live with it.

It's a trunk in Canada too BTW. But no I haven't. I actually have to hold mine for three seconds (both on key and in car) to open my trunk.

Both my dash and key trunk release button make you hold for at least 2 seconds.

I've had this happen with stuff in the trunk too. Had to pull over and close the trunk.

Things that aren't strapped down have a tendency to fly around in this car. I've given up on using those weighted mounts for GPS that sit on the dash. You take one curve and the GPS is in the backseat.

Can also confirm that my dash and fob buttons both have a 2 second delay. Don't mind it too much since it prevents OP's situation from happening.

Plus I'm getting older and much much more patient these days - what's an extra 2 seconds going to do to your life?

Same here.
The key trunk release button delay I can live with, but the dash button delay is just frustrating. :(

yup... delay here too. I rarely use the button in the car, maybe twice, but each time I had to hold it down.

Never quite understood why the Aussies and Brits call it a boot. A bonnet I can understand.

I don't mind it on the dash/key but I wish the button underneath the trunk opened it instantly

Can we Lock our trunks? I would like to be able to put something in the trunk and have it be secure even if someone breaks into my car. Every other car I've owned with a trunk had this ability.

Yup. If you open your trunk and look to the left. There is a little button that makes it so you have to use the key to open it.

Edit, just realized this may not be what you are talking about, since you can still fold the seats down (I think).

I will go check this out.

What button under the trunk? What?

Well there you go! I didn't even know the boot would open itself.
I assumed the button on the dash just unlocked it so I could open it with the switch back there. Same with the button on the keyless thingy because the 2 sec delay meant it never operated it. Barely 1 sec on the dash button.

Now I understand[?] that being in the proximity unlocks it, same as the doors and those 2 buttons operate and release the lock.

Thanks guys!

My dash button also takes a few seconds....

My truck button takes a good couple seconds of pressure to finally open.

Unlike many cars that allow you to release and fold down the seatback from inside the cabin, the only way to do this in ours is via two straps inside the trunk - one on each side. So if you hit the little button inside the trunk to disengage the electric release (key fob and dash button) the only way into the trunk is with the key or a crowbar.

You can tell the seatback is secured because if you pull on the straps and then go inside the cabin and look, you'll see two red buttons have popped up at either corner indicating the latch is disengaged. Just pull the seatback forward and slam it back and they'll re-latch (the red will disappear).

Oh and yeah, both my fob and the dash button require you hold for a couple of seconds. It's a little annoying, but I understand why and it would be more annoying to accidentally pop the trunk when you don't want to.

I don't have a button or a switch or anything on my trunk. Is this cause of my carbon fiber?

Wait, so you can only fold the seats down through the trunk? This is good.
