Trunk Trunk Lock To unlock the trunk, press the open trunk symbol on the key. The button on the key must be pressed for more than half a second and travelling speed must be less than 12 mph (20 km/h) for the signal to work. When the trunk is unlocked, it can then be fully opened from the outside. See Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on page 2-5 for more information. After partly opening the trunk lid, gas struts automatically take over to lift and hold the trunk lid in the fully open position. The trunk locks automatically when pushed shut, so be careful not to leave keys in the trunk. They will be locked in when it is shut. {CAUTION: It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You can not 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: • Make sure all other windows are shut. • Turn the fan on your heating or cooling system to its highest speed and select the control setting that will force outside air into your vehicle. See Climate Control System in the Index. • If you have air outlets on or under the instrument panel, open them all the way. See Engine Exhaust on page 2-27. 2-8
