WARNING
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle
at any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
severe injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventilation,
exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
sure to cold weather conditions.
The trunk is also a highly dan-
gerous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’s
crush zone.
Pull to open the trunk

 If a person is locked in the
trunk, they can pull the emer-gency release to open thetrunk lid.
 We recommend that cars be
kept locked and keys be keptout of the reach of children,and that parents teach theirchildren about the dangers ofplaying in trunks.
