Trunk Release Handle
There is a glow-in-the-dark trunk release
handle located inside the trunk on the latch.
This handle will glow following exposure to
light. Pull the release handle down to open
the trunk from inside.
Lashing eyes
There are four lashing eyes in the trunk that
should be used to secure loads. In general,
loads should be placed as far forward and
as low down as possible in the trunk.
NOTICE
The trunk release handle was not
designed to be used to tie down the trunk
lid or as an anchor point when securing
items in the trunk. Improper use of the
trunk release could damage it.
WARNING
• Lay heavy bags on the floor. Place
smaller and lighter bags on top.
• Secure heavy and bulky items using
the four lashing eyes provided in the
trunk. This will avert the danger of
luggage flying around if the car should
brake suddenly or be involved in a
crash.
• Secure small items if the backrest is
folded down. Small items can also be
thrown around inside the car and
cause personal injury.
• The rear seat must be in the upright
position to protect against load
displacement in the event of a crash.
• Do not exceed the load capacity of the
car, as this will alter its handling char-
acteristics (see page 236).
• Match your speed and driving style to
how the car is loaded. The handling
characteristics of the car can be
affected since a load in the trunk will
alter the car’s center of gravity.
