Emergency Trunk Release Handle
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.
There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release
handle located inside the trunk of the sedan model on
the trunk latch. This handle will glow following exposure
to light. Pull the release handle up to open the trunk from
the inside.
Liftgate (MAXX)
To open the liftgate, press the trunk/liftgate button on
the remote keyless entry transmitter or the remote
trunk/liftgate release button located on the lower edge of
the driver’s door. See “Remote Trunk/Liftgate Release”
under Trunk (Sedan) on page 2-15.
If the liftgate is unlocked, you can manually open it by
pressing the touchpad switch located on the underside
of the liftgate trim panel, slightly to the right of center.
