auto trunk not able to auto close?
i am able to auto open the trunk from dashboard button...but not be able to close it from there...
scenario: so I have to rush to my wife after she grabs handful of stuff walking away and tell her to close the trunk herself? (she's used to our RX's way of auto trunking), is Lexus trying to end our marriage?
kidding aside, is my auto trunk missing something there?

The power trunk lid on the LS can only be closed at the trunk lid. The button on the dash only opens it. So I am assuming they did it the same way on the GS (for those markets that are lucky enough to have it).

From what I've read, only the US version of 4GS that does not have the power trunk and mirrors option.
If you have the power trunk, it only operate one way from the dash. That is auto open the trunk. You want to close it, you'd have to hit the button on the trunk.

You lucky have that button. US version of 4GS doesn't have it. And we have to slam hard to shut it close. The Ford escape you can even open the trunk with your foot. Cheap & stupid Lexus engineers.

not to make you feel even worse, onexcite, my trunk has kind of soft close when you manually push it down low enough...

do you think it's a dealer option that has to be set by the dealer??? just like the window op that has to be set to go down via W/key fob,, but can't put them back up W/key fob,, was told it was a safety issue.

I'm thinking the same, on my previous RX the automatic lift gate has to be enabled by dealer.

FYI for those in Canada - I spotted a 4GS F-Sport RWD with DRS in the dealership that had the auto-close button. My 4GS F-Sport AWD doesn't have it...
