Trunk Release Handle
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release
handle located inside the trunk on the latch.
This handle will glow following exposure to
light. Pull the release handle down to open
the trunk from the inside.
Tailgate, 9-5 Wagon
The tailgate is not unlocked when the other
car doors are unlocked. The tailgate button
on the driver’s door is inoperative when the
car is locked or moving at a speed greater
than 4 km/h.
Unlocking
The tailgate is unlocked using:
• The button on the key
• The tailgate switch on the inside of the
driver’s door (if the car is unlocked and at
a standstill) or
• Manually, using the key in the trunk lock.
Remote unlocking is confirmed by the direc-
tion indicators flashing three times.
If the alarm is activated (the car is locked),
the alarm will sound if the tailgate is
unlocked with a key. However, if the tail-
gate is opened using remote unlocking, the
alarm will not be triggered.
Locking
The tailgate is locked using:
• The button on the key
• The button on the centre console
• The key in the driver’s door.
NOTE
The trunk release handle was not
designed to be used to tie down the trunk
lid or as a an anchor point when securing
items in the trunk. Improper use of the
trunk release could damage it.
