Trunk lid (Sedan)
y To prevent dangerous exhaust gas from en-
tering the vehicle, always keep the trunk lid
closed while driving. y Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi-
cle, either close all windows and lock all doors
or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make
certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk could quickly
become high enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including brain damage,
particularly for small children.

To cancel the trunk lid release
The inside trunk lid release can be cancelled to help
prevent unauthorized entry into the trunk. To cancel
the trunk lid release, set the lid release cancel lever
(located on the inside of the trunk lid, mounted to the
trunk lid latch) to the “CANCEL” position. When this
lock is in the “CANCEL” position, the trunk can be
opened only with the key. „ Internal trunk lid release handle
The internal trunk lid release handle is a device de-
signed 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.
To open the trunk lid from inside the trunk, press the
yellow handle downward as indicated by the arrow on the handle. This operation unlocks the trunk lid. Then,
push up the lid.
The handle is made of material that remains lumines-
cent for approximately an hour in the dark trunk space
after it is exposed to ambient light even for a shorttime.
Never allow any child to get in the trunk and

play with the release handle. If the driver starts
the vehicle without knowing that a child is in-
side the trunk and the child opens the lid using
the release handle, the child could fall out and
be killed or seriously injured.
yDo not close the lid while gripping the release
handle. The handle may be damaged. y 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. y Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike
the release handle. If the cargo hits the handle
while the vehicle is being driven, the handle
may be pushed down and the trunk lid may
open. That may cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic safety haz-
ard.
T Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice a year to
check the release handle for correct operation. 1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a screwdriver with a thin blade. Slide the
screwdriver blade from the slit aperture of the lock as-
sembly fully to the end until you hear a click.
