Trunk Lid (SX4 SEDAN)

If your vehicle is equipped with a trunk lid
key lock, you can open the trunk lid by
using the key in the trunk lid lock. To open
the trunk lid, insert the key and turn it
clockwise to unlatch and lift the trunk lid.
WARNING
Always make sure that the tailgate is
closed and latched securely. Com-
pletely closing the tailgate helps pre-
vent occupants from being thrown
from the vehicle in the event of an
accident. Completely closing it also
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the car.

• To avoid injury, do not use your fin-
ger to push the emergency lever.
• Make sure there is no one near the
tailgate when pushing open the tail-
gate from inside the vehicle.
