To unlock the trunk from the outside, use the vehicle key or the remote keyless entry transmitter.
When closing the trunk, push the trunk lid in the center to ensure that the lock fully latches.
Caution: Exhaust gases can enter the vehicle if it is driven with the liftgate, trunk/hatch open, or with any objects that pass through the seal between the body and the trunk/hatch or liftgate. Engine exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which cannot be seen or smelled. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If the vehicle must be driven with the liftgate, or trunk/hatch open:| • | Close all of the windows. |
| • | Fully open the air outlets on or under the instrument panel. |
| • | Adjust the Climate Control system to a setting that brings in only outside air and set the fan speed to the highest setting. See Climate Control System in the Index. |
| • | If the vehicle is equipped with a power liftgate, disable the power liftgate function. |
Remote Trunk Release
Press the remote trunk release button, located on the driver's door, to release the trunk lid. The remote trunk release works when either the ignition is off, the parking brake is engaged, or the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph (3 km/h).
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 on the trunk latch. This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle to open the trunk from the inside.
