Opening and Closing the TrunkTrunk Lid
Open Trunk and Exhaust Gas:Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle 
is dangerous. This gas contains CO 
(carbon monoxide), which is 
colorless, odorless, and highly 
poisonous. If inhaled, it can cause 
loss of consciousness and death. 
Because exhaust gas can get into the 
cabin through an open trunk, keep 
the trunk closed when driving.
WARNING
Open Trunk Lid and Children: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. Close the trunk lid, lock the 
rear seatbacks and do not allow 
children to play inside the vehicle.
Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving children or animals 
unattended in a parked vehicle is 
dangerous. Babies left sleeping and 
kids who lock themselves in cars or 
trunks can die very quickly from heat 
prostration. Don’t leave your children 
or pets alone in a car at any time. 
Don’t leave the car, the rear folding 
seats or the trunk unlocked. Always 
keep the car from being a tempting 
place to play by locking rear seats, 
doors and the trunk, and keeping the 
keys where children won’t play with 
them.
For vehicles equipped with a rear 
spoiler, do not lift the trunk lid by the 
spoiler. Lifting up the trunk lid by the 
rear spoiler could cause damage to the 
rear spoiler and the trunk lid.

Trunk Light
The trunk light is on when the lid is open 
and off when it’s closed.Your vehicle is equipped with a trunk 
release slide 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 trunk release slide lever so 
that all children can be told about it in an 
appropriate way, keeping in mind that 
most vehicles don’t have such levers.
NOTE
To prevent the battery from being 
discharged, do not leave the trunk open 
for a long period when the engine is 
not running.
