3 Inside emergency trunk lid release
N00509800165
The emergency trunk lid release is designed to provide a way
to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. It was developed to
help prevent death and serious injuries to children who might
become locked inside a vehicle trunk.
The emergency trunk lid release lever (see illustration) is
mounted on the trunk lid.
The lever glows in the dark after exposure to sunlight.You and your family should familiarize yourselves with the
location and operation of the emergency trunk lid release lever.
Children should be taught not to play in or around vehicles.
WA R N I N G
!
Children should never be left unsupervised in or
around vehicles.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an
open vehicle or trunk.
People trapped inside a vehicle or trunk, even if only
for a short period of time, can quickly die from suf-
focation or heat stroke, especially on hot days. Inte-
rior temperatures in vehicles can rise in minutes.
Keep your vehicle doors locked and the trunk lid
closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away
from children.

the area behind your vehicle. Always check visually
behind and all around your vehicle for persons, ani-
mals, obstructions or other vehicles. Failure to do so
can result in vehicle damage, serious injury or
death.

up, but it is not a substitute for your visual confir-
mation.

side the view, such as under the bumper or around
either corner of the bumper end, cannot be seen on
the screen.
CAUTION
!
If the camera lens gets dirty, a clear image cannot be
obtained. As necessary, rinse the lens with clean
water and gently wipe with a clean, soft cloth.
To avoid damaging the camera;
• Do not rub the cover excessively or polish it by
using an abrasive compound.
• Do not disassemble the camera.
• Do not splash hot water directly on the lens.
• Do not spray the camera and its surroundings with
high-pressure water.
• Make sure that the trunk lid is securely closed
