5. Tilt the driver's seatback forward and press the
storage compartment release button located on
the underside of the storage compartment lid (C)
behind the driver's seat. Then raise the storage
compartment lid (C). While attempting to raise the
lid, if the lid does not release and you hear
three chimes, check to make sure the trunk lid is
closed. Also, the lid will not release if the alarm
is turned on or the trunk lid is open.
After pressing the release button, the driver's and
passenger's door glass should retract to the
full-down position.
If the vehicle has lost battery power, you can still
open the storage compartment lid (C) using
the manual release cable.
The cable is located underneath the carpeting
behind the driver's and passenger's seats, in the
center of the vehicle. When using the manual
release, you must first open the doors to prevent
damage to the seals. To access the cable, lift
and pull back the carpeting. Then pull the cable to
release the storage compartment lid if needed.
