If your vehicle has lost battery power, open the
hatch/trunk using the vehicle key. See Keys
on page 71 for more information. The key lock
cylinder is located on the rear of the hatch/trunk lid
above the license plate. Turn the vehicle key
clockwise in the lock.
Closing the Rear Compartment (Coupe)
To assist in closing the rear compartment lid
of your coupe, use the pocket on the underside
of the lid on the passenger's side of the vehicle.
When closing the lid, lower it until the power
pull down latch feature activates and it will close
the rest of the way and latch automatically.

Emergency Trunk Release Handle
(Convertible Only)
Notice: Do not use the emergency trunk
release handle as a tie-down or anchor point
when securing items in the trunk as it could
damage the handle. The emergency trunk
release handle is only intended to aid a person
trapped in a latched trunk, enabling them to
open the trunk from the inside.
