Children should be taught not to play in or around vehicles. 2 WARNING! • Children should never be left unsupervised in or around vehicles. • Unsupervised children could lock themselves in an open vehicle or trunk. F15A2350 The emergency trunk release is designed to provide a way to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. It was developed to help prevent death and serious heat-related injuries, including brain damage, especially for children who might become locked inside a vehicle trunk. The illuminated ЉTЉ shaped yellow emergency trunk release handle (see illustration) is mounted near the latch inside the trunk lid. Velcro keeps the handle secure in its holder. • People trapped inside a vehicle, or trunk, even if only for a short period of time, can quickly die from suffocation or heat stroke, especially on hot days. Interior temperatures in vehicles can rise in minutes. • Keep your vehicle doors locked and the trunk closed when not in use. Keep your vehicle keys away from children.
