OVI045019N
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 acciden-
tally locked inside.
NEVER allow anyone to sit inside the trunk at any time.
When the trunk is slightly or
fully latched, and when the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death may
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or exposure to
a cold temperature. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous
location in the event of a
crash, because it is not a pro-
tected space, but a vehicle's
crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked and the Smart Key
should be kept away from
children. Parents should
instruct children about the
danger of playing in the trunk.
Use the Emergency Trunk Safety Release lever for emer-
gencies only.

child's unintentional opera-
tion may result serious injury
or death.

Automatic Reverse
When a window sensor detects any

upward movement, and then be low-
ered by approximately 12 in (30 cm)
to allow the object to be cleared.

resistance while pulling up the power
window switch, the window will stop
the upward movement, and then be
lowered by approximately 1 in (2.5
cm). When the power window switch is
pulled up again within five seconds
after the window is lowered by the
automatic reverse function, this func-
tion does not operate.

extended from the windows,
before closing, to avoid injury
or vehicle damage.
Objects, which are less than
0.16 in. (4 mm) in diameter and
caught between the window
and the upper window frame,
