Trunk Open Alert Question

I just got my rear end fixed after accident...

Can ya tell me if ur car has an alert when u hit trunk release switch under the steering wheel?? The alert is by the speedometer.

It won't alert you until you actually open it. When you hit the button, it puts it into like a semi-locked position, another few inches open is when the light comes on. If you hit the button and drive around, the light will flicker on and off as the trunk bounces up and down.

Sounds like there is a sensor/switch in the system. Mine gives the dash alert as soon as the trunk is popped via dash switch or key fob. Maybe others will chime in but it sounds like your memory serves you correct. Mine is a '12 model.

So had some time today & took car back to body shop that did the repair. They adjusted the latch thingy & all is working normal. Trunk alert comes on when pressing trunk release switch + trunk is easier to open since it is lifted up a lil higher.

Thanks all for ur input
