I got home after driving about 5 miles with the hatch lid down but the pull down did not scure the lid. I thought it had secured because the windows were down. I suppose I might have accidently hit the button on the FOB. At least the cargo lights were out so I know the auto shutoff works after 20 min. Would a drive this short distance cause any issues? Thanks.

I've done it a few times without issue.

What kind of issues were you thinking about? Exhaust fumes? They sell a hatch extention, for cars, so you can drive with the hatch open a few inches, to get better air circulation. I have a extention adjustable strap I use when I buy something too big to close the hatch... works great.

No issues, no harm.

Car is ruined, you must get rid of it immediately!

Shouldn't you get a "hatch ajar" message on the DIC...

I like getting the message in the DIC and if I am going somewhere fast I will stop and close the hatch, I have driven several times to the office and zero issues

Happened to me one time & I got such a message on the DIC.

Happens with the vert pretty regularly. Seems the fob gets hit in my pocket. The DIC does show it adjar, no biggy.
