MASTER KEY
To close the trunk, press down on
the trunk lid.
See page 128 for cargo loading and
weight limit information. Keep the
trunk lid closed at all times while
driving to avoid damaging the lid,
and to prevent exhaust gas from
getting into the interior. See Carbon
Monoxide Hazard on page 28.
To protect items in the trunk when
you need to give the key to someone
else:
1. Lock the trunk release handle
with the master key.
2. Give the person the valet key.
