Trunk (Sedan) To unlock the trunk from the outside, use the key or the remote keyless entry transmitter. When closing the trunk, close from the center to ensure it fully latches. Remote Trunk/Liftgate Release Press the remote release button, located on the lower edge of the driver's door, to open the trunk lid or the liftgate. {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death. If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if electrical wiring or other cable connections must pass through the seal between the body and the trunk lid: • Make sure all other windows are shut. • Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest speed and select the control setting that will force outside air into your vehicle. See Climate Control System. • If you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all the way. See Engine Exhaust on page 2-36. You can open the trunk lid on the sedan while the vehicle is stationary. You can open the liftgate on the MAXX only while the vehicle is in PARK (P). 2-15
