Trunk CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You can't 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: D Make sure all other windows are shut. D Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest speed with the setting on OUTSIDE AIR or with RECIRC turned off. That will force outside air into your vehicle. See "Comfort Controls" in the Index. D If you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all the way. See "Engine Exhaust" in the Index. Trunk Lock Release To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the master key and turn it. Remote Trunk Release (Option) If you have this option, press the trunk release button located in the glove box to open the trunk lid. The key does not have to be in the ignition for the remote trunk button to work. The transaxle must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). The system also works with the remote keyless entry system, if your vehicle has this feature. 2-14
