Press... and hold?

Today's post is about how a small addition to a common object can make things much clearer.

This is the remote key fob for my Hyundai:

Top button locks the doors, middle button unlocks the doors, bottom button opens the trunk. Fairly obvious.

What isn't so obvious is that you can just press the top two buttons but you need to press and HOLD the trunk button for 2-3 seconds before it opens.

I've tossed my keys to at least three people to get something out of the trunk and its always the same thing:

1. Press the button.
2. Tug on the trunk lid. 
3. Look confused at the fob. 
4. Press the button again. 
5. Tug on the trunk lid again.
6. Look either mad or confused. 
7. Turn to me in confusion. 
8. "Press and hold it."
9. They do, trunk opens. 
10. "That's annoying."

What would fix this?  A simple addition to the trunk button. Add the word "HOLD" over the picture of the car. 

LESSON LEARNED:  The barest of instructions are sometimes required, even if it's a single word.
