The emergency trunk lid release is designed
to provide a way to open the trunk lid from
inside the trunk. It was developed to help pre-
vent death and serious injuries to children
who might become locked inside a vehicle
trunk.
The emergency trunk lid release lever (see
illustration) is mounted on the trunk lid.
The lever glows in the dark after exposure to
sunlight.
You and your family should familiarize your-
selves with the location and operation of the
emergency trunk lid release lever. Children
should be taught not to play in or around
vehicles.
Operation from inside the vehicle
CAUTION
 Do not use the trunk lid release lever while
the vehicle is moving. If the trunk lid is
opened, objects in the trunk could fall onto
the road and cause an accident.
NOTE
 The trunk area light comes on when the trunk
lid is opened, and goes out when it is closed.
To close
CAUTION
 Be careful to prevent catching anyone’s fin-
gers when closing the trunk lid.
 Before starting the vehicle, be sure to con-
firm that the trunk lid is closed. If the trunk
lid opens while driving the vehicle, objects
stored in the trunk could fall out onto the
road.
