Trunk

The trunk can be opened using the trunk opener switch, entry function or wireless remote control. If the vehicle is equipped with a power trunk lid, the trunk can be closed using the trunk closer.

• Before driving
  • Make sure that the trunk lid is fully closed.
    If the trunk lid is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving and hit nearby objects or luggage in the trunk may be thrown out, causing an accident.
  • Do not allow children to play in the trunk.
    If a child is accidentally locked in the trunk, they could suffer from heat exhaustion, suffocation or other injuries.
  • Do not allow a child to open or close the trunk lid.
    Doing so may cause the trunk lid to open unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.
• Important points while driving
  Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the event of sudden braking or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
• Using the trunk
  Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.

• Trunk easy closer (vehicles with power trunk lid)
  In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly open, the trunk’s easy closer will automati-cally close it to the fully closed position. It takes several seconds before the trunk easy closer begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else in the trunk lid, as this may cause bone fractures or other serious injuries.
