operate the power decklid, or to play near
to an open or moving power decklid. Note:
Do not drive with the decklid open
unless you disable the power feature.
Make sure you secure the decklid to you
vehicle.

movement. Press the instrument panel or
decklid button again, or press the remote
control button twice.
The decklid will only operate with your

load on the decklid or a possible torsion
bar failure. See your authorized dealer if
you still have a fast chime after you
remove the load.

instrument panel.
With the Remote Control Press twice within three
seconds.
From Outside Your Vehicle Press the control button located above the

sound if it detects an obstacle while
opening. Remove the obstacle to operate
the decklid.

INTERIOR LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT RELEASE WARNINGS

WARNINGS
Do not leave children, unreliable
adults, or animals unattended in the
vehicle. On hot days, the temperature in
the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or animals to
these high temperatures for even a short
time can cause death or serious
heat-related injuries, including brain
damage. Small children are particularly at
risk. Your vehicle is equipped with a release
handle that provides a means of escape
for children and adults if they become
locked inside the luggage compartment.
Adults should familiarize themselves with
the operation and location of the release
handle. The handle is located inside the luggage
compartment either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or near the tail
lamps. It is composed of a material that
will glow for hours in darkness following
brief exposure to ambient light.
Pull the handle and push up on the
luggage compartment door (lid) to open
from within the luggage compartment.
