WARNING
No one should be allowed to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or total-
ly latched and the person is unable
to get out, severe injury or death
could occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure to
cold weather condition s. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous location
in the event of a crash because it is
not a protected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’ s crush
zone.

• If a per son is locked in the trunk,
they can pull the emergency
release to open the trunk lid.
• We recommend that car s be kept
locked and keys be kept out of
