Trunk Light
The trunk light is on when the lid is open
and off when it's closed.
Your vehicle is equipped with a trunk
release handle that provides a means of
escape for children and adults in the event
they become locked inside the trunk.
No matter how careful adults might be
with keys and locking their cars, parents
should be aware that children may be
tempted to play around vehicles and use
the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiarize
themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle so that all
children can be told about it in an
appropriate way, keeping in mind that
most vehicles don’t have such handles.
NOTE
•
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the trunk
open for a long period when the
engine is not running.
•
The trunk and license plate lights
share the same light bulbs.
