TRUNK RELEASE
From inside the car the trunk lid
can be released by depressing the
Trunk Release Button located on
the instrument panel to the left of
the steering wheel. The transmis-
sion must be in Park before the

is closed or if the trip button is depressed.
With the key in the lock position or with the key out, the
word “deck” will display until the trunk is closed.
On EVIC equipped vehicles, the words “Trunk Ajar” will
display.
