WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release han-
dle. If the driver starts the vehicle
without knowing that a child is
inside the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.
CAUTION
 Do not close the lid while gripping
the release handle. The handle
may be damaged. Do not use the handle as a hook
to fasten straps or ropes to
secure your cargo in the trunk.
Such use may result in damage of
the handle. Load the trunk so that cargo
cannot strike the release handle.
If the cargo hits the handle while
the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pulled and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic
safety hazard.

engine from overrevving. The
engine will resume running
normally after the engine speed is
reduced below the red zone. Pay extra attention to the engine
speed when the engine is cold, as
the red zone will be lower than
normal.
