The trunk may be opened by

button on the driver door,
V on
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter, or the trunk release
button on the rear of the trunk
above the license plate.
On vehicles with the Keyless
Access System, if the vehicle is
locked, the keyless access

of the trunk for it to be recognized;
the trunk can then be opened by the
trunk release button above the
license plate.
Use the key in the trunk lock
cylinder.
Close the trunk by pulling on the
handle. Do not use the handle as a
tie-down.
Rear-Seat Pass Through
If the vehicle has the rear-seat pass
through door, this is useful when
transporting long items.
To open the door, pull down the rear
seat armrest. Then pull the lever all
the way down to release the door.
To close the door, push it up and
back into place. Then try to open
the door without pulling up on the
lever to make sure it is locked into
place.
Emergency Trunk Release
Handle
Notice: Do not use the
emergency trunk release handle
as a tie-down or anchor point
when securing items in the trunk
as it could damage the handle.
The emergency trunk release
handle is only intended to aid a
person trapped in a latched trunk,
enabling them to open the trunk
from the inside.
There is a glow-in-the-dark
emergency trunk release handle on
the back wall of the trunk. This
handle will glow following exposure
to light. Pull the release handle
toward the front of the vehicle to
open the trunk from the inside.
