Features of your vehicle
Emergency trunk safety release
Your vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency 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.
Trunk lid control switch
The trunk lid control switch is used to
prevent unauthorized access to the
trunk.
• When the trunk lid control switch is
UNLOCK position ( ), the trunk can
be unlocked with the trunk lid release
button and the transmitter (or smart
key).
• When the trunk lid control switch is
LOCK position ( ), the trunk can be
unlocked with the master key (or the
mechanical key of the smart key) only.

WARNING
• 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 condi-
tions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event
of a crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but mere-
ly 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.
