Trunk Lid
Open Trunk and Exhaust Gas:
Exhaust gas in the cabin of a vehicle
is dangerous. This gas contains CO

colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous. If inhaled, it can cause
loss of consciousness and death.
Because exhaust gas can get into the
cabin through an open trunk, keep
the trunk closed when driving.
Open Trunk Lid and Children:
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving
children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure. Close the trunk lid and do
not allow children to play inside the
vehicle.
WARNING
WARNING
Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving children or animals
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. Babies left sleeping and
kids who lock themselves in cars or
trunks can die very quickly from heat
prostration. Don
’t leave your children
or pets alone in a car at any time.
Don ’t leave the car or the trunk
unlocked. Always keep the car from
being a tempting place to play by
locking doors and the trunk, and
keeping the keys where children won ’t
play with them.

Trunk Light
The trunk light is on when the lid is open
and off when it's closed.
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside
trunk release handle that provides a means
of escape for children and adults in the
event they become locked inside the
trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars, parents
should be aware that children may be
tempted to play around vehicles and use
the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the inside release handle so
that all children can be told about it in an
appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles don’t have such handles.
NOTE
• To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the trunk
open for a long period when the
engine is not running.
• The trunk and license plate lights
share the same light bulbs.
