Inside Trunk Release Lever

Your vehicle is equipped with an inside

trunk release 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

lever so that all children can be told

about it in an appropriate way, keeping

in mind that most vehicles do not have

such levers.

WARNING

Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat

backs are latched and do not allow

children to play inside the vehicle:

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.

Always keep the car from being a

tempting place to play by latching the

rear seats, doors and the trunk, and

keeping the keys where children can

not play with them:

Leaving children or animals unattended

in a parked vehicle is dangerous.

Babies left sleeping and children who

lock themselves in cars or trunks can

die very quickly from heat prostration.

Do not leave your children or pets

alone in a car at any time. Do not leave

the car, the rear folding seats or the

trunk unlocked.

Opening the Trunk Lid from the

Inside

Slide the inside trunk release lever in

the direction of the arrow. The lever is

made of material that will glow for

hours in the darkness of the trunk

following a brief exposure to ambient

light.

The inside trunk release lever is located

on the inside of the trunk lid.
