Remote Trunk Release To open the trunk from inside the vehicle, press the remote trunk release button located inside the driver's storage compartment located on the lower left side of the instrument panel. See Instrument Panel Overview on page 138 or Driver's Storage Compartment on page 133. The remote trunk release works when the ignition is either off or in ACC, or the vehicle speed is less than 2 mph (3 km/h). 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 on the inside of the trunk lid of your vehicle. This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle and push the trunk lid open from the inside to open the trunk. 101
