Trunk / Liftgate Lock: Description and Operation

The trunk lid lock can be opened by the interior switch if the valet mode is inactive, the security is disarmed, the vehicle is not moving and unlocked. The trunk lid lock can also be released by the drivers key but the alarm will sound if it is armed. Opening the trunk with the driver's key is done by pushing the key into the orifice in the body at the XK8 badge.

Using the key-ring transmitter to open the trunk will not activate the vehicle security alarm if the system is armed.

The trunk must be closed to activate the valet mode. When the valet switch is pressed and the trunk is closed an audible warning will sound.
When in valet mode and the interior trunk release is pressed the valet mode warning will sound and a visual warning will be displayed on the message center.
