Keys, Doors and Windows
If your vehicle has lost battery
power, open the hatch/trunk using
the vehicle key. See Keys on
page 2‑2 for more information.
The key lock cylinder is located on
the rear of the hatch/trunk lid above
the license plate. Turn the vehicle
key clockwise in the lock.
Closing the Rear Compartment
(Except Convertible)
To close the rear compartment
lid of your coupe, pull down on the
rear edge of the lid. Lower it until
the power pull down latch feature
activates; it will close the rest of
the way and latch automatically.
Emergency Trunk Release
Handle (Coupe)
Notice: Do not use the
emergency trunk release handle
as a tie-down or anchor point
when securing items in the trunk
as it could damage the handle.
The emergency trunk release
handle is only intended to aid a
person trapped in a latched trunk,
enabling them to open the trunk
from the inside.
There is a glow-in-the-dark
emergency trunk release handle
located on the rear wall of the trunk
below the latch. This handle will
glow following exposure to light. Pull
the release handle down to open
the trunk from the inside.
