You and your passengers 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
accidentally locked in the trunk.
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 emergen- cies only.
WARNING
NEVER allow anyone to occupy
the 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.
WARNING
Make sure that there are no peo-
ple or objects in the path of the
power trunk (or smart trunk)
prior to use. Serious injury,
damage to the vehicle or dam-
age to surrounding objects may
result if contact with the power
trunk (or smart trunk) occurs.
