Trunk lid release handle
The trunk lid release handle is a device designed to
open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. In the event

The handle is made of material that remains lumi-
nescent for approximately an hour in the dark trunk
space after it is exposed to ambient light even for a short time.
WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the trunk and
play with the release handle. If the driver starts the vehicle without knowing that a child
is inside the trunk and the child opens the lidusing the release handle, the child could fallout and be killed or seriously injured.
CAUTION

Do not close the lid while gripping the re-
lease handle. The handle may be damaged. Do not use the handle as a hook to fasten
straps or ropes to secure your cargo in the trunk. Such use may result in damage of the handle. Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike
the release handle. If the cargo hits the handlewhile the vehicle is being driven, the handlemay be pushed down and the trunk lid may open. That may cause cargo to fall out of the trunk, which could create a traffic safety haz-ard.
