Trunk Lock Release
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the door key
and turn it.
Remote Trunk Release
Press the TRUNK release
button located to the right of
the steering column to
release the trunk lid.
The
trunk release override
switch must be in the
on position.
The system also works with the Remote Lock Control.
The trunk will unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
pressed, but only when the ignition is
off. The trunk
symbol will
also work when the ignition is on, but only
while in PARK
(P) or NEUTRAL (N). The
trunk release switch in
the glove
box allows you to
secure items in the trunk.
Move the trunk release switch to
OFF, lock the glove
box and take the key with you. Now the trunk release to
the right of the steering column will not open the trunk.
However, the Remote Lock Control Transmitter will still open the trunk.
Trunk Security Override
The Remote Lock Control transmitter will open the
trunk even
if the override switch is in the OFF position.

Filling Your Tank The cap is behind a hinged door on the left side of
your vehicle.
Gasoline vapor is highly flammable. It burns
violently, and that can cause very bad injuries.
Don’t smoke if you’re near gasoline or refueling
your vehicle. Keep sparks, flames and smoking
materials away from gasoline.
The remote fuel door release can help keep your fuel
tank from being siphoned. Always be sure the fuel door
is closed and latched after refueling.
To open the fuel door
(on
the left of the vehicle), press
the button next to the
trunk
release button, to the right
of the steering column. The
ignition does not need to be
on. The remote fuel door
release will work
in all
transaxle positions.
6-5

The fuel door can be opened
manually in case
of an
electrical power failure. To
do
so, first open the trunk.
The release mechanism
is
on the driver’s side of the
vehicle, at the top of
the
trunk compartment. Pull the
tab toward you to release
the fuel door.
I NOTICE:
Prying on a locked fuel filler door could damage
it. Use the remote fuel
door manual release
located in the trunk.
While refueling, hang the cap inside the fuel door. Twist
it clockwise to secure
it, if necessary.
To take
off the cap, turn it slowly to the left
(counterclockwise).
