WARNING
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.
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 condi -
tions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event of
a crash because it is not a pro -
tected 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. Par -
ents should teach their children
about the dangers of playing in
trunks.
Use the release lever for emer -
gencies only.
