Trunk
To unlock the trunk from the outside, use the vehicle
key or press the trunk button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter, if equipped.
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot 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 and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See Climate Control
System.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 2-30.
Remote Trunk Release
Press the remote trunk
release button, located
on the lower left side of
the instrument panel,
to release the trunk lid.
Make sure the remote trunk release lockout feature is not
on. The remote trunk release will work when the ignition
is either in LOCK or ACC, the parking brake is engaged,
or the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph (3 km/h).

Remote Trunk Release Lockout
Your remote trunk release is equipped with a lockout
feature. The switch is located on the inside of the trunk
lid, mounted to the trunk lid latch.
To turn the lockout on,
slide the switch to the
lock symbol. To turn the
lockout off, slide the switch
to the unlock symbol.
When the lockout is on, the remote trunk release button
will not release the trunk lid. However, the trunk lid
can still be opened with the key, but not with the keyless
entry transmitter.
Emergency Trunk Release Handle
Notice:Do not use the emergency trunk release
handle as a tie-down or anchor point when securing
items in the trunk as it could damage the handle.
The emergency trunk release handle is only
intended to aid a person trapped in a latched trunk,
enabling them to open the trunk from the inside.
There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release
handle located on the inside of the trunk lid. This handle
will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release
handle and push the trunk lid open from the inside
to open the trunk.
