TRUNK LID LATCH

• The trunk lid latch prevents a person from being

confined in the luggage compartment in an acci-
dent.
You can open the trunk lid by pulling an emer-
gency trunk lid release handle to the arrow direc-
tion when you are confined in the luggage
compartment in an accident.

• The emergency trunk lid release handle glows by

absorbing light, so you can operate the handle
even in a dark luggage compartment.
NOTE: The glow time depends on the amount of
light absorption, but the handle will glow four
hours maximum when exposed to sunlight for 30
seconds or more. The glow performance
depends on environmental conditions.
