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
The remote trunk release button is located on the instrument panel. See Instrument Panel Overview .
Press the button to open the trunk. To use this feature, your vehicle must be in (P) Park or (N) Neutral.
You can also press the remote trunk release button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to open the trunk. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation .
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 near the latch. This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle to open the trunk from the inside.
Rear Seat Pass-Through
Your vehicle has a small door in the rear seat. This door allows you to access the trunk from inside the vehicle.
The rear seat armrest must be down for the pass-through door to open. To release the pass-through door, move the release lever up. To close the door, raise it and push it until it latches.
