hatch. When someone is inadver-
tently locked in the luggage compart-
ment, if the lever is pushed, the rear
hatch latch mechanism is released
and the rear hatch is opened by
pushing backward.

the rear hatch is opened. It remains
on until the rear hatch is securely
closed.

securely. If it remains open whilst

battery discharge because luggage
room lamp remains on.
