After closing the trunk lid, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely locked. If a person is locked in the trunk, he/she can pull down the phosphorescent strap on the inside of trunk lid to open the trunk lid. The phosphorescent (glow- in- the- dark) strap will continue to glow for a time after the trunk lid is closed. Exposing the strap to stronger light will cause it to glow longer. 46 2005 AVALON from Jan. '05 Prod. (OM41408U)
