Using a mechanical key
G15004
To unlock the trunk lid, insert the mechanical key and turn
it clockwise.
To close the trunk lid, lower it and press down on it. After
closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely
closed.
CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. This not only
keeps the luggage from being thrown out, but also
prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
Always lock the trunk lid and all doors, and keep
away the vehicle keys out of children’s reach.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Un
supervised children may lock themselves in the
vehicles or trunk and suffer serious injuries or death.
Trunk lid closer
If the trunk lid is closed but does not latch shut, it
automatically closes completely.
CAUTION
Pay careful attention not to get your fingers trapped
as the trunk lid automatically closes when the trunk
has not been fully closed.
Never allow a child to operate the trunk lid.
NOTICE
Do not apply excessive force when the trunk lid closer
is operating. Doing so may damage the trunk lid closer.
Also, be careful not to leave the key inside the trunk.
