Trunk Light

The trunk light is on when the lid is open 
and off when it's closed.  

Your vehicle is equipped with a trunk 
release handle 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 release handle so that all 
children can be told about it in an 
appropriate way, keeping in mind that 
most vehicles don’t have such handles.

NOTE

•

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

•

The trunk and license plate lights 
share the same light bulbs.
