The alarm indicator light on the dashboard will stop flashing to indicate that the alarm is not monitoring the entire vehicle. The accessory movement and inclination sensors will be automatically disconnected.

When the trunk is closed again (which has to be done manually), it will have to be relocked and the alarm rearmed by pressing the lock button on the remote key.

Unlocking/opening the trunk from the passenger compartment

Press the button on the lighting panel (1) to unlock and pop open the trunk

NOTE

The taillights will illuminate automatically for a short period when the trunk has been opened.

Unlocking the trunk with the key blade

If the remote key is not functioning properly, the trunk can be unlocked with the detachable key blade. See page 59 for information on removing the key blade from the remote key.

1 - Pull out the cover over the trunk’s keyhole.

2 - Unlock the trunk by inserting the key blade in the keyhole and turning a half turn counterclockwise as shown in the illustration.

Locking the trunk with the remote key

Press the lock button on the remote, see page 57

The alarm indicator on the dashboard will begin flashing to show that the vehicle is locked and that the alarm has been armed.

NOTE

• If the doors are locked while the trunk is open, the trunk will remain unlocked until the vehicle is relocked by pressing the Lock button on the remote key.
• On keyless drive vehicles, the gear selector must be in the Park (P) position, all doors and the trunk must be closed and the ignition must be switched off before the vehicle can be locked.

Opening the trunk from the inside (U.S. models only)

The vehicle is equipped with a florescent handle on the inside of the trunk lid, which can be used in an emergency situation to open the trunk from the inside. Pull the handle down to release the trunk lid. After use, the handle must be pushed back into its original position before the trunk can be closed.

This handle is not intended to be used to anchor the trunk lid when long loads are being transported.

WARNING

• Keep vehicle doors and trunk locked and keep keys out of a child’s reach. Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
• On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are particularly at risk.
