Internal trunk lid release handle
The internal trunk lid release handle is a device designed to open the
trunk lid from inside the trunk. In the event children or adults become
locked inside the trunk, the handle allows them to open the lid. The han-dle is located on the inside of the trunk lid.
WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the trunk and play with the releasehandle. If the driver starts the vehicle without knowing that achild is inside the trunk and the child opens the lid using the re-
lease handle, the child could fall out and be killed or seriously in-jured.
CAUTION
Do not close the lid while gripping the release 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 ofthe handle. Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike the release handle.
If the cargo hits the handle while the vehicle is being driven, thehandle may be pushed down and the trunk lid may open. Thatmay cause cargo to fall out of the trunk, which could create a traf-fic safety hazard.
