2001MY ECHO (U) L/O0008 -Internal trunk release handle -Luggage security system SU12061 SU12055 SU12056 If a person is locked in the trunk, he or she can pull down the phosphorescent handle on the inside of trunk lid in case of emergency to open the trunk lid. The phosphorescent (glow- in- the- dark) handle will continue to glow for a time after the trunk lid is closed. Exposing the handle to stronger light will cause it to glow longer. This system deactivates the lock release lever so that things locked in the trunk can be protected. 3. Push down the security lock levers to lock the rear seatbacks. On vehicles with built- in child restraint, only the left seatback has a lock lever and can be lowered. The right seatback cannot be folded down. 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. 4. 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. 36 2002 ECHO (OM52463U)
