welcome to dashboard symbols comm here
we will address a trunk opening anomaly
that is evidently found only in 2011
through 2017 model Hyundai Sonata owners
of these vehicles often find themselves
unable to operate the trunk from either
the cars key fob or the release button
on the dashboard the issue is here a
small innocuous lever built onto the
trunk latch it is marked as shown but is
rarely given any attention if the lever
is pushed up toward the trim the trunk
releases are locked out watch the trunk
can only then be operated with the
mechanical key the key hole is beneath
the lip of the trunk facing downwards if
you have a push button start model the
mechanical key will be found inside the
fob as shown once inside
flip the lever back to the unlocked
position pulled away from the interior
trim the release buttons on the key fob
and on the dashboard will operate
properly once again the lock out may be
intended to be part of a valet system
for keyless start models the main body
of the fob can be left with the valet
while the mechanical key held by the
owner can be used to lock the glovebox
and to open the trunk after it has been
immobilized
however the lockout is found in also
nada models for help with other keyless
or push button start cars and key fobs
from this or other manufacturers look
