Rear Hatch

New R56 owner, does the rear hatch only open from the FOB? I cannot seem to open the hatch from the handle when the vehicle is unlocked...only from the FOB.

Thanks in advance for any information.

There's a button in the middle (directly above the license plate). You can see a picture here: https://cdn4.pelicanparts.com/techar...arge/pic01.jpg

The car needs to be fully unlocked for the button to work.

Thats what I am pushing but it wont open....maybe the latch is faulty, but wanted to check to see if there was a quirk I wasn't aware of. Thanks!
