TRUNK LID
• To open the trunk, insert the key into
the lock and turn it clockwise until an
audible “click” is heard.
• To close the trunk, use both hands to
push the trunk lid down until the lock
“snaps” shut.
• Do not slam the trunk lid.
• Pull up on the trunk lid to make sure
it is securely latched.
To prevent premature wear or damage
to the trunk lid lift cylinders and
attaching hardware, the trunk lid must
be fully closed before you drive your
vehicle.
WARNING -
EXHAUST FUMES
If you drive with the trunk lid open,
you will draw dangerous exhaust
fumes into your vehicle.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open,
keep the air vents open so that additional
outside air comes into the vehicle.
WARNING:
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is partially or
totally closed and the person is
unable to get out, severe injury or
death could occur due to lack of
ventilation, fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure
to cold weather conditions. The
trunk is also a highly dangerous
location in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected
occupant space but merely a part
of the vehicle’s crush zone.
