Trunk
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on AUTO and the temperature between
65 F (18 C) and 85 F (29 C). That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
Trunk Lock Release
To use this feature,
your vehicle must
be in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N) and
the VALET lockout
switch must be off.
Press the trunk release button, located on the left side of
the instrument panel, to open the trunk.
You can also press the trunk button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter to access the trunk
compartment. To disable this feature, see ªValet Lockout
Switchº in the Index.

Rear Seat Pass-Through Door (If Equipped)
The rear seat pass-through
release button is located in
the trunk. To release the
pass
-through door, press the
PUSH button located in the
center of the trunk panel.
The rear
-seat armrest must be down for the
pass
-through door to open.The rear seat pass-through door can also be opened from
inside the vehicle. To release the pass
-thru door, move
the release up with your fingers.
The rear seat armrest must be down for the pass
-through
door to open. You may close the door so it latches from
inside the vehicle.

2-15
Trunk Lid Tie Down
CAUTION:
Driving with the trunk lid open can allow
dangerous CO (carbon monoxide) gas to come
into your vehicle. You can't see or smell CO.
It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you ever need to drive with your trunk lid
open, then:

Make sure all windows, the rear seat
pass
-through and sunroof are closed.

Turn the fan on your heating and cooling
system to its highest speed, with the
setting on AUTO and temperature between
65F (18C) and 85F (29C). This forces
fresh outside air into your vehicle.

Open all air ducts on the instrument panel.
Don't use the trunk lid tie down if you are towing
a trailer because of the danger of CO.
This feature is used to secure the trunk lid if it will not
close completely, such as when carrying large packages
in the trunk.
1. Attach the clip end of the tie down to the ªDº ring
on the trunk lid (see view A).
2. Attach the hook end of the tie down to the striker
located at the center of the trunk sill (see view B).
3. Tighten the tie down by pulling the free end of the
cord until secure.
4. To remove the tie down, press the clip end release
and loosen the cord.

Trunk Release Handle (If Equipped)
NOTICE:
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 handle could damage it.
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release handle
located inside the trunk near the latch. This handle will
glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle
up to open the trunk from the inside.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft
-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don't do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver's door,
you'll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.

6-6
The fuel door release button
is located to the left of the
steering wheel next to the
headlamp knob.
The button only works when the vehicle is in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N), when the key is in the ignition and
the VALET lockout button is in OFF.
An alternate fuel door
release is located inside of
the trunk on the driver's
side. Pull it to release the
fuel door.While refueling, hang the cap by the tether from the
hook on the filler door.
To remove the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise). The cap has a spring in it; if you let
go of the cap too soon, it will spring back to the right.
