play with the release handle. If the driver starts the vehicle without knowing that a child
is inside the trunk and the child opens the lidusing the release handle, the child could fallout and be killed or seriously injured.
CAUTION

Do not close the lid while gripping the re-
lease handle. The handle may be damaged. Do not use the handle as a hook to fasten
straps or ropes to secure your cargo in the trunk. Such use may result in damage of the handle. Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike
