must be aware of the location
of the Emergency Trunk
Safety Release lever in this
vehicle and how to open the
trunk in case you are acciden-
tally locked in the trunk.
• NEVER allow anyone to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at
any time. If the trunk is partial-
ly or totally latched and the per-

sure to cold weather condi-
tions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the
event of a crash because it is
not a protected occupant
space but is a part of the vehi-
cle’s crush zone.
