Your vehicle is equipped with an emergency trunk release cable located inside
the trunk. The lever glows in the dark when the trunk lid is closed. If someone
is inadvertently locked in the trunk, pulling this handle will release the trunk
latch mechanism and open the trunk.
WARNING
- For emergencies, be fully aware of the location of the emergency trunk
safety release lever in this vehicle and how to open the trunk if you are accidentally
locked in the trunk.
- No one should be allowed to occupy the trunk of the vehicle at any time.
If the trunk is partially or totally latched and the person is unable to get
out, severe injury or death could occur due to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up, or because of exposure to cold weather conditions.
The trunk is also a highly dangerous location in the event of a crash because
it is not a protected occupant space but is a part of the vehicle’s crush zone.
- Your vehicle should be kept locked and keys be kept out of the reach of
children. Parents should teach their children about the dangers of playing in
trunks.
- Use the release lever for emergencies only. Use with extreme caution,
especially while the vehicle is in motion.
To close the trunk, lower the trunk lid, then press down on it until it locks.
To be sure the trunk lid is securely fastened, always check by trying to pull it
up again.
