TRUNK RELEASE (SEDAN)
To open the trunk from outside your vehicle, use the key in the trunk
lock cylinder.
To open the trunk from inside your vehicle, press the
button located on the instrument panel.
Your dealer can set the trunk-release button to open
the trunk only when the ignition is in the on position,
or to open the trunk when the ignition is in any
position. See your authorized dealer to change these
settings.
LIFTGATE (UTILITY)
WARNING:Make sure to close and latch the liftgate to prevent
drawing exhaust fumes into your vehicle. This will also prevent
passengers and cargo from falling out. If you must drive with the
liftgate open, keep the vents or windows open so outside air comes into
your vehicle. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
Note:Be careful when opening or closing the liftgate in a garage or
other enclosed area to avoid damaging the liftgate.
Note:Do not hang anything, for example a bike rack, from the spoiler,
glass or liftgate. This could damage the liftgate and its components.
Note:Do not leave the liftgate open while driving. This could damage
the liftgate and its components.

Note:Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched before driving your
vehicle. An unlatched liftgate may cause objects to fall out or block your
rear view.
The liftgate area is only intended for cargo, not passengers.
Open the liftgate using the outside button if your vehicle is unlocked or
use the key when your vehicle is locked.
Outside button:Press the button
located in the top of the liftgate pull
cup handle to unlatch the liftgate,
then pull on the outside handle.
Key:Insert the key into the key
cylinder and turn it clockwise. Hold
it in this position and pull on the
liftgate handle to open the liftgate.
INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE (SEDAN)
WARNING:Keep vehicle doors and luggage compartment locked
and keep keys and remote transmitters out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in the trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
WARNING:Do not leave children, unreliable adults, or animals
unattended in your 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.
