Before Driving

Doors and Locks

   NOTE

y

  When opening the trunk lid with the 

doors locked, it may require a few 
seconds for the trunk lid latch to release 
after the electric trunk lid opener is 
pressed.

y

  The trunk lid can be closed when the 

doors are locked with the key left in the 
vehicle. However, to prevent locking the 
key in the vehicle, the trunk lid can be 
opened by pressing the electric trunk lid 
opener. If the trunk lid cannot be opened 
despite doing this procedure, press the 
electric trunk lid opener to fully open 
the trunk lid after pushing the trunk lid 
completely closed.

y

  If the vehicle battery is dead or there 

is a malfunction in the electrical 
system and the trunk lid cannot be 
unlocked, the trunk lid can be opened by 
performing the emergency procedure.

  Refer to When Liftgate/Trunk Lid 

Cannot be Opened on page  7-39 .
