Child safety locks
The rear doors have child safety locks that
are activated by a button next to the door
latch on the end of the rear doors.
Shift the button up or down according to the
label on the door in question.
When the child safety lock is in the locked
position, the door cannot be opened from
the inside, but can be opened from the out-
side.
Trunk Release Handle
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release
handle located inside the trunk on the latch.
This handle will glow following exposure to
light. Pull the release handle down to open
the trunk from the inside.
WARNING
If small children are carried in the rear
seat, the safety locks on rear doors
should be activated to prevent uninten-
tional opening from the inside.
NOTE
The trunk release handle was not
designed to be used to tie down the trunk
lid or as an anchor point when securing
items in the trunk. Improper use of the
trunk release could damage it.
