Trunk opening question

[GaryTheBadger]

Page 28 of the F3 Operator's Guide says "NOTE: It is possible to open the front storage compartment with the engine running."

This must be a typo, right? It would be handy to be able to do this, but I don't see how.

Push in on the ignition key, and turn in a counter-clockwise direction. The frunk will open, and the engine will continue to run. Of course, don't do this while going down the road.

Then, you can get off the :ani29: and get those pesky gloves you forgot in the frunk. :thumbup:

Yup . . .

No doubt, I used to hate having to turn the engine off on my 2010 to open the lid.

I didn't have to . . .

No doubt, I used to hate having to turn the engine off on my 2010 to open the lid.

. . . . after I installed handlebar risers on me GS, I found that if I pulled a little bit on the cable, my hood would pop open. Never had to shut down to get something out of the trunk after that.

I seem to remember Nancy'sToy posted a How-To on hooking up a cord to do the same.

good times, just like now.
