Information
The trunk handle button will only oper-
ate when the smart key is within 28
inches (0.7 m) from the trunk handle.
Information
The power trunk (if equipped) can be
operated when the engine is not run-
ning. However, the power trunk con-
sumes large amounts of vehicle elec-
tric power. To prevent the battery
from being discharged, do not operate
consecutively (more than approxi-
mately 10 times).

for more than one second. The horn
sounds and hazard warning lights
blink for about 30 seconds. To cancel
the panic mode, press any button on
the Smart Key.
Start-up
You can start the engine without
inserting the key.
For more information, refer to the
"Engine Start/Stop Button" section
in chapter 5.To prevent damaging the smart key:
• Keep the smart key away from
any liquid or fire. Internal circuits
may malfunction if the inside of
the smart key gets damp (from
liquids or moisture) or if it is heat-
ed. This can exclude the smart
key from warranty coverage.
Avoid dropping or throwing the smart key.
Protect the smart key from extreme temperatures.
Mechanical key
If the Smart Key does not operate
normally, you can lock or unlock the
door by using the mechanical key.
Press and hold the release button (1)
and remove the mechanical key (2).
Insert the mechanical key into the

■Inside
Always keep the trunk lid com-
pletely closed while the vehicle is
in motion. If it is left open or ajar,
poisonous exhaust gases con-
taining carbon monoxide (CO)
may enter the vehicle and seri-
ous illness or death may result.

Emergency Trunk Safety
Release
Your vehicle is equipped with an
Emergency Trunk Safety Release
lever located inside the trunk. When
someone is inadvertently locked in
the trunk, the trunk can be opened by
moving the lever in the direction of the
arrow and pushing the trunk open.

OHI046023N
You and your passengersmust 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 accidentally
locked in the trunk.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
NEVER allow anyone to occupythe trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or
totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur due
to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of
the vehicle'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 emer- gencies only.
