Rear-Seat Pass Through

If your vehicle is equipped with the rear seat-pass
through door, you can access the trunk without opening
the trunk lid. This is especially useful when transporting
long items such as skis.
To open the door, pull down the rear seat armrest.
Then pull the lever all the way down to release the door.
To close the panel, push the door up and back into
place. Then try to open the door without pulling up on
the lever to make sure it is locked into place.

Emergency Trunk Release Handle

Notice: Using the emergency trunk release handle
as a tie-down or anchor point when securing items in
the trunk may damage it. Use the emergency trunk
release handle only to help you open the trunk lid.
There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release
handle located on the back wall of the trunk. This handle
will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release
handle toward the front of the vehicle to open the trunk
from the inside.
