2005 SATURN ION trunk release

Remote Trunk Release
Press the remote trunk
release button, located on
the lower left side of
the instrument panel, to
release the trunk lid.
Make sure the remote trunk release lockout feature is
not on. The remote trunk release will work when
the ignition is either in LOCK or ACC, the parking
brake is engaged, or the vehicle speed is less than
2 mph (3 km/h).
Remote Trunk Release Lockout
Your remote trunk release is equipped with a lockout
feature. The switch is located on the inside of the trunk
lid, mounted to the trunk lid latch.
To turn the lockout on,
slide the switch to the lock
symbol. To turn the
lockout off, slide the switch
to the unlock symbol.
When the lockout is on, the remote trunk release button
will not release the trunk lid. However, the trunk lid
can still be opened with the key, but not with the keyless
entry transmitter.

Emergency Trunk Release HandleNotice:Do not use the emergency trunk release
handle as a tie-down or anchor point when securing
items in the trunk as it could damage the handle.
The emergency trunk release handle is only
intended to aid a person trapped in a latched trunk,
to open the trunk from the inside.
There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release
handle located on the inside of the trunk lid. This handle
will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release
handle and push the trunk lid open from the inside
to open the trunk.
