After closing the trunk lid, insert the

master key and turn it counterclockwise

to deactivate the lock release lever.

If a person is locked in the trunk, he

or she can pull down the phosphores-

cent handle on the inside of trunk lid

in case of emergency to open the trunk

lid.

To open the hood:

1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The

hood will spring up slightly.

After closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up

to make sure it is securely locked.

CAUTION

The phosphorescent (glow−in−the−dark)

handle will continue to glow for a time

after the trunk lid is closed. Exposing the

handle to stronger light will cause it to

glow longer.

Before driving, be sure that the hood

is closed and securely locked. Other-

wise, the hood may open unexpected-

ly while driving and an accident may

occur.

NOTICE

Be sure to return the support rod to

its clip before closing the hood. Clos-

ing the hood with the support rod

inserted into the slot could cause the

hood to bend.

2. In front of the vehicle, pull up the

auxiliary catch lever and lift the

hood.

3. Hold the hood open by inserting the

support rod into the slot.

Before closing the hood, check to see that

you have not forgotten any tools, rags,

etc. and return the support rod to its

clip—this prevents rattles. Then lower the

hood and make sure it locks into place.

If necessary, press down gently on the

front edge to lock it.

CAUTION

After inserting the support rod into

the slot, make sure the rod supports

the hood securely from falling down

on to your head or body.
