Knowing Your Mazda Doors and Locks NOTE To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the trunk open for a long period when the engine is not running. Inside Trunk Release Lever (4 Door) Your vehicle is equipped with an inside trunk release handle that provides a means of escape for children and adults in the event they become locked inside the trunk. No matter how careful adults might be with keys and locking their cars, parents should be aware that children may be tempted to play around vehicles and use the trunk as a hiding place. Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and location of the inside release handle so that all children can be told about it in an appropriate way, keeping in mind that most vehicles don't have such handles. 3-16
