Hatch Release
Your door key opens the hatch from the outside. If your
vehicle has the content theft
-deterrent/alarm system and
the system is armed, opening the hatch this way will
trigger the alarm. First, disarm the system or use the
remote keyless entry transmitter to open the hatch. See
“Content Theft-Deterrent/Alarm System” in the Index.
Remote Hatch Release (If Equipped)
Press the button located
under the lamp control
on the driver’s side below
the instrument panel to
unlock the hatch from
inside your vehicle.
If you have an automatic transmission, the shift lever
must be in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) to use the
remote hatch release. If you have a manual transmission
and the ignition is in RUN, you must set the parking
brake before you can use the remote hatch release.
This button only works when the ignition is in RUN,
ACC or when RAP is active. (See “Retained Accessory
Power” in the Index.)
NOTICE:
If you put things in the hatchback area, be sure
they won’t break the glass when you close it.
Never slam the hatch down. You could break the
glass or damage the defogger grid (if equipped).
On vehicles with the content theft-deterrent/alarm
system the remote hatch release button will not
work while the system is armed. See “Content
Theft
-Deterrent/Alarm System” in the Index.
