Luggage Compartment Emergency Release
Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior luggage
compartment release handle that provides a means of escape
for children and adults in the event they become locked inside
the luggage compartment.
Adults are advised to familiaris e themselves with the operation
and location of the release handle.
To open the luggage compartment lid from the inside, pull the
illuminated ‘T’ shaped handle and push up the trunk lid.
The material that the handle is made of will glow for hours in
the darkness of the luggage compartment following brief
exposure to ambient light.
!WARNING:
1. Keep vehicle doors and the luggage compartment locked and keep keys out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an
open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught
not to play in vehicles.
2. On hot days, the temperature in the luggage compartment and vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or animals to these high
temperatures for even a short time can cause death or
serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage.
Small children are particularly at risk.
