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 accidentally
locked in the trunk.

WARNING
(Continued)
NEVER allow anyone to occupythe trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or
totally latched and the person
is unable to get out, serious
injury or death could occur due
to lack of ventilation, exhaust
fumes and rapid heat build-up,
or because of exposure to cold
weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous loca-
tion in the event of a crash
because it is not a protected
occupant space but is a part of
the vehicle's crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept locked and the Smart Key
should be kept out of the
reach of children. Parents
should teach their children
about the dangers of playing
in trunks.
Use the release lever for emer- gencies only.
