'01 SOLARA_U (L/O 0009) -Luggage security system -Internal trunk release handle This system deactivates the lock release lever so that things locked in the trunk can be protected. 1. Coupe: Push down the security lock levers to lock the rear seatbacks. After locking the rear seatbacks, try folding them down to make sure they are securely locked, otherwise someone could get into the trunk by folding down a rear seat. 2. After closing the trunk lid, insert the master key and turn it counterclockwise to deactivate the lock release lever. After closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely locked. If a person is locked in the trunk, pull down the phosphorescent handle (illuminated for a while) on the inside of trunk lid in case of emergency to open the trunk lid. The handle illuminating time depends on the intensity of the light thrown on the handle. 2001 MY SOLARA (OM33527U) 21
