Inside Emergency Trunk Release - Chrysler Sebring Coupe Owner's Manual

Inside emergency trunk release

The emergency trunk release is designed to provide a way to
open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. It was developed to
help prevent death and serious heat-related injuries, includ-
ing brain damage, especially for children who might become
locked inside a vehicle trunk.

trunk lid. Velcro keeps the handle secure in its holder.
The handle glows in the dark after exposure to sunlight.

around vehicles.
