When leaving the vehicle, either

close all windows and lock all

doors or cancel the inside trunk

lid release. Also make certain

that the trunk is closed. On hot

or sunny days, the temperature

in the trunk could quickly be-

come high enough to cause

anyone locked inside, particu-

larly for small children.

Pull the trunk lid release lever upward.

& To lock and unlock the trunk

lid release lever

When you entrust your vehicle key to

another person, you can lock the trunk lid

release lever to prevent luggage in the

trunk from being stolen. To lock the trunk

lid release lever, insert the master key or

submaster key into the key cylinder at the

rear of the release lever and turn it

counterclockwise. To unlock the trunk lid

release lever, turn the key clockwise.

& Internal trunk lid release

handle

The internal trunk lid release handle is a

device designed to open the trunk lid from

inside the trunk. In the event children or

adults become locked inside the trunk, the

handle allows them to open the lid. The

handle is located on the inside of the trunk

lid.

To open the trunk lid from inside the trunk,

press the yellow handle downward as

indicated by the arrow on the handle. This

operation unlocks the trunk lid. Then, push

up the lid.

The handle is made of material that

remains luminescent for approximately

an hour in the dark trunk space after it is

exposed to ambient light even for a short

time.

WARNING

Never allow any child to get in the

trunk and play with the release

handle. If the driver starts the vehi-

cle without knowing that a child is

inside the trunk and the child opens

the lid using the release handle, the

child could fall out and be killed or

seriously injured.

CAUTION

. Do not close the lid while grip-

ping the release handle. The

handle may be damaged.

. Do not use the handle as a hook

to fasten straps or ropes to

secure your cargo in the trunk.

Such use may result in damage

of the handle.

. Load the trunk so that cargo can

not strike the release handle. If

the cargo hits the handle while

the vehicle is being driven, the

handle may be pushed down and

the trunk lid may open. That may

cause cargo to fall out of the

trunk, which could create a traffic

safety hazard.

! Inspection

Perform the following steps at least twice

a year to check the release handle for

correct operation.

1. Open the trunk lid.

2. Use a screwdriver with a thin blade.

Slide the screwdriver blade from the slit

aperture of the lock assembly fully to the

end until you hear a click.

This places the latch in the locked posi-

tion.

3. Move the release handle, from outside

the vehicle, in the direction of the arrow to

check if the latch is released.
