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.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Inside Trunk
Release Lever
WARNING
Close the trunk lid, do not allow
children to play inside the trunk.
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
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 or the trunk unlocked.
