Emergency trunk safety release
Your vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency trunk release cable located inside
the trunk. The lever glows in the dark
when the trunk lid is closed. If someone
is inadvertently locked in the trunk, mov-
ing the handle in the direction of the
arrow will release the trunk latch mecha-
nism and open the trunk.
OGH026009
WARNING
No one should be allowed to occu-
py the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or total-
ly latched and the person is unable
to get out, severe injury or death
could occur due to lack of ventila-
tion, exhaust fumes and rapid heat
build-up, or because of exposure to
cold weather conditions. The trunk
is also a highly dangerous location
in the event of a crash because it is
not a protected occupant space but
merely a part of the vehicle’s crush
zone.
WARNING
• If a person is locked in the trunk,
they can pull the emergency
release to open the trunk lid.
• We recommend that cars be kept
locked and keys be kept out of
the reach of children, and that
parents teach their children about
the dangers of playing in trunks.
