I did the same, just after when i got mine, wife said how do i put the heated seat on, so i reached over and hit the button which i thought was the heated seat tailgate opens, luckerly for me our well trained border collie didn't jump out as he knows only to jump out when he's told phew! since then ive learnt to look twice at the switch before i press it. It won't open above a few mph though which is good.

Fortunately as I heard the pop of the boot release I pushed it again, had to drive up the road till I could pull in as the lights glad gone green, I wished I could of seen the guys face in the car behind, he did flash me , lucky I didn't loose anything thank goodness for the rubber mat  RRS 3 Autobiography P460e 2025

Saw a brand new 3 or 5 series BMW driving along on the way to work this morning with his saloon boot wide open. Guess he couldn't seen the warning on his dash then!

Colleague of mine was forever popping the boot of his Merc by walking round the office with his keys in his pocket all the time... 2016 VW Golf GTD DSG
