Power Trunk Non-Opening orClosing Conditions:
The Power Trunk will not operate,
when driving faster than 1.8 mph
(3 km/h).
The Power Trunk is operable when the engine is not running.
However, the Power Trunk opera-
tion consumes large amounts of
vehicle electric power. To prevent
the battery from being drained, do
not operate it excessively (i.e.
more than approximately 10 times
in a consecutive manner.)
Do not modify or repair any part of the Power Trunk by yourself. This
must be done by an authorized
EQUUS dealer.
Before jacking up the vehicle to change a tire or repair the vehicle,
open the Power Trunk. Do not
operate the Power Trunk, when
the vehicle is raised up.
Otherwise, this may cause the
Power Trunk to improperly oper-
ate.
When there are substances, such as snow, on the Power Trunk, it
may not automatically open. After
removing the substances, try to
open it again.
Automatic stop and Reverse
When the trunk lid is blocked by an
object or someone’s body, while
opening or closing, the power trunk
will detect the resistance, stop the
operation, or swing open in a reverse
direction to clear the object.
However, when the resistance is
weak with a thin or soft object, or
when the trunk is slightly latched, the
Power Trunk may not detect the
resistance, and not swing open to
clear an object. In addition, when the
Power Trunk is applied with strong
force, the Power Trunk may stop its
operation and swing open in the
reverse direction.
When the Power Trunk stops its
operation and swings open in a
reverse direction more than twice in
one opening or closing, the Power
Trunk may stop at that position.
When this occurs, manually close
the trunk lid and re-operate the
Power Trunk.

Emergency Trunk Safety

OVI045019N
You and your passengersmust 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 inside.
NEVER allow anyone to sit inside the trunk at any time.
When the trunk is slightly or
fully latched, and when the
person is unable to get out,
serious injury or death may
occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid
heat build-up, or exposure to
a cold temperature. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous
location in the event of a
crash, because it is not a pro-
tected space, but a vehicle's
crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked and the Smart Key
should be kept away from
children. Parents should
instruct children about the
danger of playing in the trunk.
Use the Emergency Trunk Safety Release lever for emer-
gencies only.

tion may result serious injury
or death.
