Trunk Lock - Pontiac 2004 GTO Owner's Manual

Trunk
CAUTION:
{
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can not see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
•
Make sure all other windows are shut.
•
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the
control setting that will force outside air
into your vehicle. See Climate Control
System in the Index.
•
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See Engine Exhaust on page 2-27.

Trunk Lock

To unlock the trunk, press the open trunk symbol on the
key. The button on the key must be pressed for more
than half a second and travelling speed must be
less than 12 mph (20 km/h) for the signal to work. When
the trunk is unlocked, it can then be fully opened from
the outside. See Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation on page 2-5 for more information.
After partly opening the trunk lid, gas struts automatically
take over to lift and hold the trunk lid in the fully open
position. The trunk locks automatically when pushed
shut, so be careful not to leave keys in the trunk. They
will be locked in when it is shut.
