Emergency trunk safety release

• You and your passengers
must be aware of the location
of the Emergency Trunk
Safety Release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are acciden-
tally locked in the trunk.
WARNING
• NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is partial-
ly or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather con-
ditions. The trunk is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle's crush zone.
• Your vehicle should be kept
locked and the Smart Key
should be kept out of the
reach of children. Parents
should teach their children
about the dangers of playing
in trunks.
• Use the release lever for
emergencies only.
