I've got a 2006 TL (AT - Navi) and noticed the other day that the
trunk release can be activated while driving. Luckily I was in the
driveway when I hit the button instead of on the highway, but I was
surprised it opened for safety reasons.

Is this normal? Is there a way to defeat it short of overiding the
release from the main switch in the glove box?

Thanks!
Greg

My '03 and '04 TL and my current '05 RL all act the same way.
Personally, I don't see a problem with it but I've never hit the
trunk button while moving.

Lee, thanks for letting me know it's normal. Like you say, it's no
real problem as the release switch location and design is such that it
won't likely get "accidently" pushed.
