Emergency Trunk Release Handle The key cylinder is located behind a cover on the lower rear fascia on the driver's side of the vehicle. Open the door to access the key cylinder. 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. There is a glow-in-the-dark emergency trunk release handle located inside the trunk near the latch. This handle will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release handle and push up on the trunk lid to release the latch from the inside. 2-15
