prevent unauthorized access to the
trunk.

in the UNLOCK position ( ), the
trunk can be unlocked with the
trunk release button and the
remote key or smart key.

vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are acciden-
tally locked in the trunk.
•NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather con-
ditions. The trunk is also a
highly dangerous location in
the event of a crash because it
is not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle’s crush zone.

these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
•Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
•Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
•Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the

while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors

ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by touch-
ing, rubbing or sliding against
any item or fabric capable of
producing static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can
ignite fuel vapors causing a
fire. If you must re-enter the
vehicle, you should once again
