Lever (4-door)
▼ Inside Trunk Release Lever
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside
trunk release lever that provides a
means of escape for children and
adults in the event they become locked
inside the trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars,
parents should be aware that children
may be tempted to play around
vehicles and use the trunk as a hiding
place.
Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the inside trunk release
lever so that all children can be told
about it in an appropriate way, keeping
in mind that most vehicles do not have
such levers.
WARNING
Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat
backs are latched and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle:
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving
children in the vehicle with the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the
trunk lid and climb inside resulting in
possible injury or death from heat
exposure.

*Some models.
Always keep the car from being a
tempting place to play by latching the
*
rear seats, doors and the trunk, and
keeping the keys where children can
not play with them:
Leaving children or animals unattended
in a parked vehicle is dangerous.
Babies left sleeping and children who
lock themselves in cars or trunks can
die very quickly from heat prostration.
Do not leave your children or pets
alone in a car at any time. Do not leave
the car, the rear folding seats or the
trunk unlocked.
