WARNING
Exhaust
fumes
If you drive with the trunk lid
open, you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
causing serious injury or death
to vehicle occupants. Open
trunk lids can also dangerously
obscure rear view vision.
If you must drive with the trunk
lid open, keep the air vents open
so that additional outside air
comes into the vehicle.
Emergency trunk safety
release (if equipped)
Your vehicle is equipped with an
emergency trunk release cable locat-
ed inside the trunk. The lever glows
in the dark when the trunk lid is
closed. If someone is inadvertently
locked in the trunk, pulling this han-
dle will release the trunk latch mech-
anism and open the trunk.
Knowing your vehicle
WARNING
No one should be allowed to
occupy the trunk of the vehicle
at any time. If the trunk is par-
tially or totally latched and the
person is unable to get out,
severe injury or death could
occur due to lack of ventilation,
exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of expo-
sure to cold weather conditions.

The trunk is also a highly dan-
gerous location in the event of a
crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle's
crush zone.
