It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can

even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See Climate Control

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
