Closing the trunk
To close, lower the trunk lid, then
press down on it until it locks. To be
sure the trunk lid is securely fas-
tened, always check by trying to pull
it up again.
WARNING
The trunk lid should be always
kept completely closed whilst
the vehicle is in motion. If it is left
open or ajar, poisonous exhaust
gases may enter the car and seri-
ous illness or death may result.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If the trunk is closed with the smart
key in it, the chime will sound for
approximately 3 seconds and the
trunk will reopen.
WARNING -
Exhaust
fumes
If you drive with the trunk open,
you will draw dangerous
exhaust fumes into your vehicle
which can cause serious injury
or death to vehicle occupants.
If you must drive with the trunk
open, keep the air vents and all
windows open so that addition-
al outside air comes into the
vehicle.
WARNING -
Rear cargo

Occupants should never ride in
the rear cargo area where no
restraints are available. To avoid
injury in the event of an accident
or sudden stops, occupants
should always be properly
restrained.
