| 443 Why 
doesn't the boot open remotely via the switch on the dash?
 A useful 
reminder from Peter Garton. (May 18)
 
 For 
the life of me I could not get the boot to open remotely via the dash switch. 
I tried via the ignition, plusthe switch, but nothing worked, so I got out the 
last resort action - the handbook! There I saw to my indignation that I did not 
have the handbrake on! See page 82, Owner's Handbook AKM7144ENG.
 
 I park 
up in my garage with the car in first gear only and simply forgot that one has 
to engage the handbrake plus ignition on plus pressing the boot release switch. 
Must be getting old!

 Press to

and handbrake on.
