the red mark cannot be seen) to lock the door. All doors
should be kept locked while driving.

TRUNK LID
WARNING!
²It is dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open
since carbon monoxide (CO) gas can enter the
cabin. CO is an invisible, odorless gas that can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
²Do not allow children to have access to the trunk,
either by climbing into the trunk from outside or
through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the
trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. If
trapped in the trunk, it is possible to escape from
the trunk by using the inside emergency trunk
release handle. (See ``Inside emergency trunk re-
lease'' on Page 37).

Inside emergency trunk release
The emergency trunk release is designed to provide a way to
open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. It was developed to
help prevent death and serious heat-related injuries, includ-
ing brain damage, especially for children who might become
locked inside a vehicle trunk.
The illuminated9T9shaped yellow emergency trunk release
handle (see illustration) is mounted near the latch inside the
trunk lid. Velcro keeps the handle secure in its holder.The handle glows in the dark after exposure to sunlight.
You and your family should familiarize yourselves with the
location and operation of the emergency trunk release
handle. Children should be taught not to play in or around
vehicles.
WARNING!
²Children should never be left unsupervised in or
around vehicles.
²Unsupervised children could lock themselves in
an open vehicle or trunk.
²People trapped inside a vehicle, or trunk, even if
only for a short period of time, can quickly die
from suffocation or heat stroke, especially on hot
days. Interior temperatures in vehicles can rise in
minutes.
²Keep your vehicle doors locked and the trunk
closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys
away from children.

etc.) in the window.

second is the ªalarmº stage, and third is the ªdisarmedº
stage. If triggered, the system provides both audible and
