Trunk Light

The trunk light is on when the lid is open 
and off when it

’

s closed.

Your vehicle is equipped with an inside 
trunk release slide lever that provides a 
means of escape for children and adults in 
the event they become locked inside the 
trunk.

No matter how careful adults might be 
with keys and locking their cars, parents 
should be aware that children may be 
tempted to play around vehicles and use 
the trunk as a hiding place.

Adults are advised to familiarize 
themselves with the operation and 
location of the inside trunk release slide 
lever so that all children can be told about 
it in an appropriate way, keeping in mind 
that most vehicles don

’

t have such levers.

NOTE

To prevent the battery from being 
discharged, do not leave the trunk open 
for a long period when the engine is 
not running.

Open Trunk Lid and Children:
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving 
children in the vehicle with the keys is 
dangerous. Children could open the 
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in 
possible injury or death from heat 
exposure. Close the trunk lid, lock the 
rear seatbacks and do not allow 
children to play inside the vehicle.
