INTERIOR LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT RELEASE

WARNINGS

Keep vehicle doors and luggage
compartment locked and keep keys
and remote transmitters out of a

child’s reach. Unsupervised children could
lock themselves in the trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles.

Do not leave children or animals
unattended in the vehicle. On hot
days, the temperature in the trunk or

vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to these
high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk.

Your vehicle is equipped with a release
handle that provides a means of escape
for children and adults if they become
locked inside the luggage compartment.

Adults should familiarize themselves with
the operation and location of the release
handle.

E144403

The handle is located inside the luggage
compartment either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or near the tail
lamps. It is composed of a material that
will glow for hours in darkness following
brief exposure to ambient light.

Pull the handle and push up on the luggage
compartment door (lid) to open from
within the luggage compartment.
