Interior trunk release lever

This vehicle is equipped with an interior trunk release lever that allows a child or adult to get out of the trunk if they are accidentally locked inside.

Although parents take great care with their keys and with locking the vehicle, they should keep in mind that children may be tempted to play in the vehicle and hide in the trunk.

Adults should become familiar with the operation and location of the interior trunk release lever so they can properly explain how it works to children. Keep in mind that most vehicles do not have such a lever.

WARNING

Close the trunk lid, make sure the seatbacks are locked, and do not let children play inside the vehicle:

Leaving the trunk open or leaving children in the vehicle with the keys is dangerous.

Children may open the trunk and climb inside, which can cause injury or death from heat exposure.

Keep the vehicle from becoming a place where children are tempted to play. Lock the rear seatbacks, doors and trunk, and keep the keys where children cannot reach them:

Leaving a child or pet unattended in a parked vehicle is dangerous. Babies left sleeping and children who lock themselves in the vehicle or trunk can die quickly from heat. Never leave a child or pet alone in the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle, folding rear seats or trunk unlocked.

Opening the Trunk from the Inside

Slide the interior trunk release lever in the direction of the arrow. The lever is made of a material that glows in the dark for hours after brief exposure to ambient light.

The interior trunk release lever is located on the inside of the trunk lid.
