Emergency Trunk Safety Release
lever in this vehicle and how to open

NEVER allo
w anyone to occupy the
trunk of the vehicle at any time. If the
trunk is partially or totally latched

serious injury or death could occur
due to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up, or
because of exposure to cold weather
conditions. 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
vehicle’s crush zone.
