Mitsubishi ECLIPSE Owner's Manual page 116

You and your family should familiarize yourselves with the
location and operation of the emergency trunk lid release han-
dle. Children should be taught not to play in or around vehi-
cles.
WARNING
!
Children should never be left unsupervised in or
around vehicles.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an
open vehicle or trunk.
People trapped inside a vehicle or trunk, even if only
for a short period of time, can quickly die from suf-
focation or heat stroke, especially on hot days. Inte-
rior temperatures in vehicles can rise in minutes.
Keep your vehicle doors locked and the trunk lid
closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away
from children.
To open the trunk from the inside, pull the handle in the direc-
tion of the arrow on the handle. Push up on the trunk lid to
open the trunk and climb out.

CAUTION
!
When loading the trunk, place your things so that
they will not touch the emergency trunk lid release
handle when you close the trunk. Otherwise you
could damage the handle and make it unusable.
Always keep the handle in its holder when driving so
that your cargo cannot accidentally bump it and
open the trunk.
