Preventing Unauthorized Entry

Into the Trunk

To secure your trunk:
• Lock the rear seatbacks in the upright
position by pushing them up and
rearward until you hear a click. Push
with your hand over the latch loca-
tions to ensure that the latches are
engaged.
• Pull on the seatbacks to ensure that
the latches are secure.
• Locate the red valet lever of the trunk
latch, mounted inside the trunk lid
(see photo above ).
• Slide the red valet lever to the left
(locked position) to activate the valet
lockout switch. This will disable the
inside release button and the car
symbol button on your Remote
Keyless Entry transmitter (if equipped
with RKE). You will now be able to
access the trunk only with your key.
Note: When lifting or closing the trunk
lid with your hand, be careful not to
accidentally move the Valet Lockout
lever (shown above) to the locked
position. This will render your RKE
transmitter Trunk Release button
inoperative and will require you to open
the trunk with your key.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.

Tire Pressure

The Tire-Loading Information Label tells
you the proper size, speed rating and
recommended tire inflation pressure for
the tires on your vehicle. This label is
located on the driver-side doorjamb.
Overinflated tires produce a harsh ride,
while underinflated tires reduce fuel
economy and affect vehicle handling.
Both underinflated and overinflated tires
promote tire wear.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.

Jump Starting Your Vehicle

The battery is located in the spare tire
well under the load floor in the trunk.
Should it be necessary to jump start
your vehicle, either the battery or the
remote positive terminal in the engine
compartment can be used. This unique
feature allows you to jump start the
vehicle from either the front or the rear
of the vehicle. The negative cable can
be connected to a heavy, unpainted
metal part of the vehicle or to a negative
terminal on the battery. See your Owner
Manual for instructions on how to prop-
erly and safely jump start your ION.
See Section 5 of your Owner Manual.
