The power trunk operates when vehicle speed is below 3 km/h (1.8 mph).

WARNING

Never leave children or animals unattended in your vehicle. Children may operate the power trunk. Doing so can result in injury to themselves or others and can damage the vehicle.
Make sure there are no people or objects and enough space around the trunk before operating the power trunk or smart trunk prior to use. Serious injury, damage to the vehicle or damage to surrounding objects (for example, walls, ceilings, vehicles, etc.) may result if contact with the trunk occurs.
Make sure there are no people or objects around the trunk before operating the power trunk. Wait until the trunk is opened fully and stopped before loading or unloading cargo from the vehicle.
A trunk covered with snow or equipped with heavy objects (e.g. bike racks, ladders) may not be opened; with the trunk open, it may be accidentally closed, causing injuries to anyone around the vehicle.
Do not open the trunk if the trunk is covered with snow or equipped with heavy objects.
Make sure to remove snow and heavy objects before opening the trunk.
Always keep the trunk lid completely closed while the vehicle is in motion. If it is left open or ajar, poisonous exhaust gases containing carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the vehicle and serious illness or death may result.

NOTICE

Do not close or open the power trunk manually. This may cause damage to the power trunk. If it is necessary to close or open the power trunk manually when the battery is discharged or disconnected, do not apply excessive force.
Do not operate the power trunk more than 10 times continuously when the engine is not running. Use the power trunk with the engine running when the power trunk is used repeatedly to prevent battery discharge.
Do not leave the trunk open for a long period of time. This may drain the battery.
Do not modify or repair any part of the power trunk by yourself. This must be done by an authorized Kia dealer.
Do not operate the power trunk under the following conditions. The power trunk may not operate properly.
- One side of the vehicle is lifted to inspect the vehicle or change a tire
- Parking on an uneven road such as a slope, etc.
Close the trunk completely and lock all doors and trunk using the central door lock button before using an automatic car wash.
Do not spray high pressure water directly on the power trunk outside open/close button. The trunk may open unintentionally.

NOTICE

In cold and wet climates, the outside power trunk open button may not work properly due to freezing conditions. If this occurs, remove the ice before using the outside power trunk open/close button or use the power trunk open/close button on the smart key or the instrument panel.
If you leave the smart key in the trunk and close the trunk, a warning will sound for about 5 seconds. If this occurs, open the trunk by pressing the power trunk open button on the outside of the trunk.
Be careful where there is an incline, as the trunk lid may drop slightly when it is stopped before it fully opens.
