Hatch/Trunk Lid Release
To use the hatch/trunk lid release on vehicles with an
automatic transmission, your vehicle must be in
PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). For manual transmissions,
set the parking brake. See Parking Brake on page 2-31.
Press the button with the trunk symbol on it, located
at the left side of the steering column on the instrument
panel, to release the hatch/trunk lid from inside your
vehicle.
The remote keyless entry transmitter will also release
the hatch/trunk lid. See Remote Keyless Entry System
on page 2-5.
If your vehicle is equipped with a hatch and you have lost
battery power, use the manual release cables to open the
hatch. To access the cables, remove the two access
panels located in the rear of the trunk area. There is one
cable located under each access panel. See Rear
Storage Area on page 2-42 for more information.
Pull each cable straight down for each latch to release
the hatch.
If your vehicle is equipped with a convertible top/hardtop
and you have lost battery power, use the manual
release cable to open the trunk lid. To access the cable,
remove the center storage compartment lid located in
the rear of the trunk area. See Rear Storage Area
on page 2-42 for more information.
